If a shopping trolley is removed to a retention area under section 24J—
the trolley is taken to be uncollected goods for the Uncollected Goods Act 1996; and
the trolley is taken to have become uncollected goods for that Act on the day the retailer collection notice is given; and
the director‑general is taken to be the possessor of the trolley for that Act; and
the director‑general may dispose of the trolley under that Act, part 3 after 7 days after the day the retailer collection notice is given; and
if a trolley is to be destroyed under that Act, part 3—to the extent reasonably practicable, the component materials of the trolley must be recycled; and
for that Act, section 26 (2) (a) and (b) and section 30 (1) (a) and (b), the reasonable costs incurred by the director‑general are taken to be any fee determined under this Act for the removal, storage and disposal of the trolley; and
