Every day, retailers focus on providing customers with the best experience they can give them, which includes the use of new shopping carts. But you may wonder what you can do with your old ones. Here are some suggestions for what to do with your store’s old shopping carts.
Send Them to Other Stores
One thing you can do with your store’s old shopping carts is to send them to other stores. If you are part of a franchise, you may be able to transfer old carts that are still useful to other locations in your store’s chain.
If another location needs two-tier shopping carts, you can send some older ones to provide them with a quick solution. You can also consider selling them to a competitor, allowing these carts to have a second life and keeping them out of a landfill.
Sell Them for Parts
Another option for your store’s old shopping carts is to sell them for parts and scraps. Some buyers may not be able to use the carts themselves, but they might be able to take metal or plastic pieces to build other products.
Let Others Refurbish Them
A third option for your store’s old shopping carts is to sell them to someone so they can refurbish them in creative ways. You might be surprised to discover how many artists use shopping carts in their creative pieces and would be willing to purchase your old ones.
Recycle Them
You can also take the carts in for recycling or sell them to manufacturers who can refurbish them and sell them to a new retail client. Both options will keep the carts from ending up in a landfill and allow others to use them.
Although your shopping carts may have outlived their usefulness in your store, that doesn’t mean others can’t find a use for them. If you are looking for new or refurbished shopping carts, contact Carriage Trade Service Co. We have a broad selection to meet your needs.
