Abandoned shopping carts located outside the premises or parking areas of retail establishments and on public or private properties and viewable from the public rights- of-way are injurious to the public health, safety, and welfare and constitute a public nuisance. This nuisance is caused by persons unlawfully removing shopping carts from the premises or parking areas of retail establishments, by certain retail establishments failing to maintain adequate supervision of their premises and parking areas and failing to implement effective cart removal prevention programs or cart retrieval programs. The purpose of this chapter is to establish reasonable regulations for the collection and impound of abandoned shopping carts and to supplement provisions of state law regarding the unauthorized removal of shopping carts from the premises and parking areas of retail establishments.
