Trolley Tracker acting WA project manager Lyn Hall said working with community-minded residents and efficient collection teams help keep streets and parks attractive and safe.

“This also reduces the risk of trolleys making their way into waterways,” she said.

Wayward trolleys can be reported online at trolleytracker.com.au or call 1800 641 497.
