Print: $11.94 For some reason I’ve always found shopping trolleys incredibly amusing. Yes I mean the wire framed object as found in your local supermarket and more often than not, left on the side of the road. I have spent the last year photographing trolleys and found that this project highlighted the fact that since you no longer have to pay to use them whilst shopping in most places, more trolleys are being wheeled away from their base and then abandoned. I’ve discovered them in parking spaces, bus stations, roadsides and even people’s gardens; some still contained items like a loaf of bread and a car tyre.
On a more serious note, it is estimated that 10,000 new trolleys are stolen every year. The cost of replacement for retailers is around £80 per trolley. Dealing with the removal, storage and disposal of abandoned trolleys also places a considerable burden on local authorities.
The humble trolley is now brought to you in by way of this photo book. No trolleys were harmed during its compilation!
