Abandoned Shopping Trolleys

Abandoned Supermarket Trolleys

Lately, I’ve noticed an increase in abandoned supermarket trolleys around the inner-city areas of Newstead and Fortitude Valley. With my camera in hand, I decided to document them. The photos include an overturned trolley, a bit worse for wear, lying on its side in a rock garden on the corner of Doggett Street, Newstead. Another leans against a power pole, parked beside The Beach Furniture store, also on Doggett Street. Lastly, a pair of trolleys were left behind at Gasworks. Most of the trolleys photographed were from Woolworths.

I recently discovered there’s a Trolley Tracker website and App to report abandoned trolleys. According to a Council website trolleys left returned are considered litter.

Here’s a link to more urban photography focused on inner-city suburbs like New Farm.
