Council encourages the general public to report abandoned shopping trolleys so they can be quickly collected and returned to the store where they belong.  Abandoned shopping trolleys contribute to pollution, with many dumped in waterways and bushes or on streets and parks.

Trolley Tracker is a service that receives reports of abandoned shopping trolleys, collects and returns the trolleys back to stores.  A prize is offered each month, drawn from the names of people who lodge reports to Trolley Tracker.

To report an abandoned shopping trolley in streets or public areas, contact Trolley Trackers on 1800 641 497 (freecall), email trolleytracker@trolleytracker.com.au or enter details directly onto the Trolley Tracker Website.

Trolley Tracker works with NSW Councils and major stores such as Coles, Woolworths, Big W, Kmart, Franklins and Target.  The scheme operates under a Code of Practice, developed by the Australian Retail Traders Association with the NSW Local Government & Shires Association and the NSW Department of Local Government.
