Walkers made the discovery at the pond near to the Sainsbury’s supermarket in Edenthorpe last week.
As well as individual discarded trolleys, a train of at least eight shopping carts had been pushed into the water.

"It's not really a caring image to show to the public, or the said wildlife is it?
"Bags of rubbish were also collected by a resident but there was too much to carry.”
The area around the store, between Armthorpe and Edenthorpe, is a popular spot for dog walkers but has also become a magnet for anti-social behaviour and vandalism.
