El Cid Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have noticed a number of shopping trollies abandoned and reported them. How how must I wait before I weigh them in for scrap, would they take them at the scrap yard? Is there some sort of reward for shopping trolley return, for cleaning up the local area? I guess this question would apply to any property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Which supermarkets are they from?? I can't imagine they'd even be worth the trip to the metal yard, weigh so little you just wouldn't get anything for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Boomer- Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Report them to the Environment Agency. You should have evidence of when you informed the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle-82 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Depends.. There's the 'Finders, Keepers Act' of time began or the Unclaimed Property Act 1999. Edited April 21, 2015 by Chelle-82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Let's try the Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1977/32/contents, shall we? See sections 12/13 and particularly Schedule 1 for the true answer to post #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There's the 'Finders, Keepers Act' of time began I tried to apply that act last nite on the last Jaffa Cake. Turns out it's open to interpretation :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Bargains, my thoughts are more towards getting rid of the eyesore, and I have some things to weigh in anyway. Still no reply from the email, and the trolley is still there, its an eyesore, the store should be held responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have noticed a number of shopping trollies abandoned and reported them.

I guess this question would apply to any property. You could probably make a bit more than scrap if you turned it upside down and placed an 'for sale' ad in a Parson Cross newsagent's window, advertising it as a state-of-the-art rabbit hutch with four miniature Sky dishes.
