Businesses in Charlestown protest abandoned shopping trolleys, urging quicker removal by Coles and Woolworths.

Businesses in Charlestown, NSW, are protesting against abandoned shopping trolleys from Coles and Woolworths, which have been obstructing entrances and footpaths for over a decade. They demand quicker removal or coin locks to deter dumping. The Public Spaces (Unattended Property) Act, enacted in November 2022, holds owners responsible for trolley removal. Coles and Woolworths acknowledge the issue and claim to be improving their trolley management efforts.
