Bolton council heard that dumped trolleys were causing issues in many areas of the borough
A council is set to hit major supermarkets in the pocket recovering dumped shopping trolleys. In Bolton , trolleys will now be removed by the authority ‘in a bid to tackle the blight of flytipping’.
One respondent said: “We find trolleys in green spaces in rivers, bushes and even up a tree. Burnt out trolleys are also an issue as people fill them with household waste then set them on fire.” A storage cost of £5 per day per trolley will now apply to retailers, and a charge of £50 for the initial collection by the council will also be payable. Retailers can request the return of each trolley collected by the council for which a charge of £100 per trolley will apply in addition to the daily storage charge.
Many retailers are already signed up to a voluntary collection scheme where trolleys will be collected by specialised companies such as Trolleywise. The council has advised the public to contact these services or the relevant supermarket directly if they see an abandoned trolley in the borough.
