 * To help locate and return these trolleys, Franklins uses the Trolley Tracker Information System. This system is maintained by Trolley Services Australia. It helps Franklins to keep our trolleys in store and return those that aren’t more quickly. Customers who report lost trolleys are rewarded with the chance to win a $1000


 * __ Woolworths __**
 * Stolen shopping trolleys littering suburban streets may become a rarer site as Woolworths launches a new phone app that locates lost trolleys and helps them get back to the nearest supermarket.
 * In a first by a major retailer, the new Trolley Tracker app will allow local people to instantly report an abandoned Woolworths trolley with as little as three taps of their internet-enabled phone.

__** Coles **__
 * At Coles, we want to make the shopping experience as convenient as possible for our customers by providing clean and well-maintained shopping trolleys for use in our stores and car parks.
 * In fact, over the past two years Coles has replaced the majority of the trolley fleet to improve the shopping experience for our customers across Australia.

 * Big W has the same phone app as Woolworths you can use that phone app on a iPhone, iPod.

__** Aldi **__ > Firstly, we went to Pioneer Memorial Park which they put a fence around it to stop people to litter. Secondly, Apex Park was our next stop. Apex Park was a beautiful place for kids to play and for familys to walk along.
 * Our coin deposit system for our trolleys is effective in preventing the dumping of shopping trolleys in backstreets and waterways, proving some of the simplest systems are the most effective.
