Abandoned shopping trolleys
How to report an abandoned shopping trolley
If you see a shopping trolley abandoned in the district, please report it to the store or supermarket (owner of the trolley) it came from.
Retailers are responsible for removing their own trolleys from public areas.
Most retailers use a trolley collection service. You can contact Collex or Trolleywise to report an abandoned trolley as below.
