Trashy MEI hydraulic freight elevator at Springfield Town Center (left of Target) in Springfield VA

(📹 02/25/2023) Here is an MEI freight dumpster on the left side of Target (if you're heading toward it inside the mall) at Springfield Town Center in Springfield VA. This thing is absolutely pigsty and is being treated more like a dumpster than an elevator. Even the doors had trash too! CLEAN IT UP AND GIVE IT SOME TLC!
As a kind disclaimer, I do not encourage sneaking into unauthorized areas.
