Public Littering and illegal dumping

Shopping Trolleys

Shopping trolleys not returned to their owners are considered litter.

They can be:

• A hazard to pedestrians and road users
• Unsightly in our parks and reserves
• Have an environmental impact on drains and waterways.

Trolley Tracker

Trolley Tracker works with some of Australia’s largest retailers, encouraging the public to Return, Report and Reduce the impact of trolleys in the community and environment.

You can lodge a report anytime through the smartphone app, via the Trolley Tracker website or via the call centre 9AM-5PM Monday – Friday 

Which retailers can I report to Trolley Tracker?

Trolley Tracker can take reports of abandoned trolleys belonging to Woolworths, Big W, and Dan Murphy’s. For all other retailers we recommend getting in touch with them directly.

If you have reported a trolley and it hasn’t been collected, please call Trolley Tracker on 1800 641 497 and let the operator know that you are proving a repeated report. The operator can then follow the report up with the local trolley collector as a High Priority.
