A fed up Edinburgh resident has been forced to collect abandoned shopping trolleys in her front garden after thoughtless shoppers dumped them in the street. Audrey Rollason has become so frustrated by the ongoing situation that she decided to take matters into her own hands and gather up the metal shopping carts.
The metal structures come from a variety of stores and it is said that they are being lifted and dumped in parks and cycle paths in the Telford area of the capital, Edinburgh Live reports. Edinburgh Central MSP, Angus Robertson, and Inverleith ward councillor, Vicky Nicolson, have called on local shops at the Craigleith retail park to help prevent the dumping of the trolleys that are becoming a hindrance in local green spaces.
The two politicians say that the problem seems to have become worse since the local retail park at Craigleith saw an increase in shops. Resident Audrey said: "Trolley dumping has got worse and worse in the Telford area. I constantly find trolleys around the place, and often new ones appear in a period of hours.
