Hi All,
It is the companies responsbility to stop the dumping of trolleys same as outside McDonalds etc they have the responsilibty to keep the area cleared of their packaging. Why do you think in some areas as soon as you take the trolley out of a certain area like the carpark the wheels lock up? In someplaces it is still on trail but it will cover more and more stores so they say. How long ago Adrian did you work for a store, did the trolleys have wooden wheels or plastic/rubber? as far as I know they can re use them, they are cleaned to a very high standard, there are companies that go around repairing and washing them?

Yeah, sure. Always sensible to blame the victim. He's easy to find. Hasn't it occurred to you that, before a cart is dumped, it first has to be *stolen* from a supermarket? So where are the suggestions for prosecuting the thieves (who are also the litterers)? But there you go. Pubs are the cause of binge drinking, soccer teams are the cause of hooliganism, schools are the cause of oikdom ... AIUI after a cart has been in the water, it cannot be reused (even if cleaned), for health reasons. That's why the supermarkets aren't that interested in getting them back. Adrian (who once worked in a supermarket and now supports the concept of individual responsibility). .
