The city of Phoenix deals with the topic of abandoned shopping carts with proposed laws, according to which larger retailers with their carts are technically versed. In a report by ABC15, the plan was highlighted in which GPS tracking devices are to be put on carts in order to contain their bad planning.
They are not small potatoes; According to Longform, over 7,800 shopping carts were collected by a city entrepreneur of 460 retailers last year. Names such as Target and Walmart as well as Winco were involved as the worst offenders for the abandonment of the cart. A member of the under Committee of Phoenix Economic Development and Housing complained: “My district sees a lot of it”, which indicates the widespread nature of the problem.
Large retail stores that are operated with one or more feet of 50,000 square meters would be directly affected by the regulation and are faced with a mandate for installing GPS tracking or bike bulky mechanisms on shopping carts to alleviate the problem. Smaller retailers are not quite away from the hook, since according to ABC15 the regulation also has to agree to semi -annual ratings.
For the residents who were irritated by the sight of stray cars, the city has extended an arm that invites the participation of the public. Reports about abandoned carts can transfer the PHX 311 service or direct calls. Spencer Self, the director of Phoenix Neighborhood Services, emphasized the importance of individual registration in an interview. “What is important about this business, we need specific information about this business … including who we should communicate with,” said Self, as reported by Longfirm.
The Phoenix City Council can vote on a proposal in September, in which GPS persecution is required for shopping carts. This raises questions about how much responsibility retailers should have.
