The city council finds and declares that the accumulation and storage of wrecked, dismantled, or abandoned shopping carts, or parts thereof, on public or private property reduces property values, promotes blight and deterioration, constitutes an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, and is aesthetically displeasing and injurious to the health, safety and general welfare of the community. Therefore, the presence of wrecked, dismantled, or abandoned shopping carts, or parts thereof, on public or private property, is declared to constitute a public nuisance which may be abated as such in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
