Seller has not moved belongings...What would you do? Pics inside!

So I'm about to close on a 3-unit investment property tomorrow morning and I go check the place out tonight with my realtor for a final walk-through.

Good thing we did that.

The seller has basically emptied the basement into the backyard and is now waiting for the city's Bulk Trash Removal service to come pick everything up. This trash includes furniture, full garbage bags, cardboard boxes filled with various items, paint containers, plastic buckets, etc.

She ordered the bulk trash removal service 2 days ago, and apparently they can take anywhere from 5 to 10 days to come by and pick up  from the FRONT yard only.

My closing is (was) tomorrow morning. I spoke with my attorney and we decided to postpone the closing until they clean this mess up. I'm not buying a dump. The house is in good condition, but this display in the yard is unacceptable. If it was 1/5 of the amount of waste, I would consider closing under conditions (holding escrow), but this is crazy...I'm surprised all this came out of the basement!!

My question is what would you guys do in a situation like this? Has something like this every occurred to you before? Would there be a financial reimbursement from seller to buyer for inconveniences? 

I will most likely have a couple of days to think about this now, so I figured I might as well post this on the forums and see what y'all have to say about this.

UPDATE:

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Seems like the general consensus is to close with conditions/escrow.

Got a call from my attorney this morning saying the seller had a crew come over last night (working through the night? haha) and move everything to the front yard and coordinated with the city to pick up everything, at a higher cost.

So if all goes as planned, all the trash will be removed by this afternoon, and we will end doing another walkthrough and close on the property this evening.

If there happens to be any remaining items, I will definitely use the 'hold back funds' approach.
