A filthy McDonald’s restaurant on a Melbourne nightclub strip has enraged cleaners who say they are constantly forced to mop up the mess after it is ransacked by revellers.

Photographs of the putrid fast food restaurant on Glenferrie Road in Hawthorn have emerged showing burger wrappers, squashed food and soft drink containers strewn all over the floor and covering the tables as people queue to buy food.

The photographs, taken between 3am and 4am on a Wednesday morning, show the garbage spilling out the front of the restaurant and on to the pavement, which is also covered in vomit.

Commercial cleaner Lee Baker told radio 3AW the disgraceful scene was repeated each time revellers poured out of nightclubs and pubs in the area.
