Not sure where this thread is supposed to lead (conservation of vole habitat I presume?)

I can't believe any supermarket chain would "knowingly allow" it's trollies to be used for anything other than shopping purposes in their stores, let alone pollute waterways.

They are probably aware that their trollies have been stolen and dumped in waterways, but the retrieval of them is possibly beyond the remit of the local management team.
That does not mean that the senior executives should not be responsible for arranging a contractor to remove them though!

Do we start a campaign against certain fast food restaurants because they "knowingly allow" their cartons to be strewn all over the country?

I think it is generally the "baduns" larking about after a skinful of ale that cause these problems not the Companies.
