Unattended Shopping Trolleys

Abandoned trolley on a road

Unattended shopping trolleys can be unsightly and hazardous, blocking footpaths, littering parks, and even polluting waterways.

Retailers who provide shopping trolleys to their customers request that trolleys are not removed from the store and perform routine trolley collections. 

We want to keep our streetscapes and local environment looking beautiful and we ask for your assistance in reporting unattended shopping trolleys.
