The City Council finds that abandoned shopping carts on public and private property create conditions that reduce property values, promote blight and deterioration, and result in a public nuisance. This chapter is intended to ensure that measures are taken to prevent the removal of the shopping carts from the owner’s premises and to facilitate the retrieval of abandoned shopping carts in a manner consistent with state law.
