Mayor Steve Christou and Deputy Mayor Eddy Sarkis have declared war on dumped trolleys in Cumberland.
“Cumberland City is not a ghetto,” said Mayor Steve Christou.
“I’m sick of trolleys being dumped in our neighbourhoods and I’m tired of lazy retailers refusing to retrieve them.
“If we were a north shore council, these trolleys would be collected swiftly.
“The Deputy Mayor has worked very hard on the issue of dumped trolleys and today is the day Cumberland City officially draws the line in the sand.
“I have instructed Council to crush any trolleys found dumped in our local government area from this day forward.
“This will happen consistently until retailers realise we will not tolerate abandoned shopping trolleys in our neighbourhoods. It’s time for retailers to clean up their act. Dumped trolleys will not have a happy ending.”
To report dumped trolleys please contact Council on 02 8757 9000
