Abandoned shopping trolley scheme review
In 2006, Middlesbrough Council adopted a scheme to charge the owners of shopping and luggage trolleys abandoned in Middlesbrough for their collection and return or disposal. The Council is in the process of carrying out a review of the operation of this scheme. When the scheme was introduced the Council set a charge of £110 plus VAT for each trolley claimed by its owner, and charged an additional £20 for disposal of unclaimed trolleys, making a total of £130 plus VAT. This charge has been applied throughout the operation of the scheme. The Council has reviewed its costs and propose to amend the charge per trolley to £66 plus VAT with annual adjustments for inflation. It is proposed this charging scheme will apply for five years unless a significant change in circumstances means an earlier review is required.
