The city of Glendale is fighting back against stolen shopping carts that have a tendency to end up around town causing blight.
The city council unanimously approved amending a city code about shopping cart removal. The ordinance already made it unlawful for an individual to remove a cart from a store’s parking lot; now with the new code stores that provide carts for customers will have to have anti-theft devices installed on their carts.
That applies to existing businesses that have carts, and for any new businesses applying for a license that will provide carts on site.
