Phoenix – Phoenix takes steps to solve the growing problem of abandoned shopping trolleys throughout the city. A proposed regulation in which larger retailers have to install GPS tracking devices on their carts.
According to the city of Phoenix, more than 7,800 shopping carts were called up by a city entrepreneur from 460 retailers in the last financial year.
The worst criminals were Target, Fry's and Walmart, where Wincco led the list of retailers whose carts were abandoned throughout the city.
“My district sees a lot of it,” said a member of the economic development and the city's residential area.
The proposed regulation is aimed specifically at retailers with shops of 50,000 square foot or greater, so that you have to install locking wheel mechanisms on your carts.
In addition, all retailers would have to register with the city and evaluate every six months.
Spencer Self, director of neighborhood services, explained the importance of registration of the individual branch and not just for organizational registration.
“What is important about this business, we need specific information about this business … including who we should communicate with,” said Self.
Residents who want to report abandoned carts in their neighborhood can contact PHX 311 or call them directly.
The Phoenix City Council could vote on the proposed regulation in September.
