Carpentersville officials hope that forcing people to pony up a $150 fine for abandoning a shopping cart on public property will stop them from taking baskets from stores and then dumping them.
Anyone caught abandoning a shopping cart on public property will be fined $150 under an amended ordinance approved this week by the Carpentersville Village Board. The number of people using the carts to transport purchases home and then dumping them has been escalating, officials said.
While the village has an ordinance on carts being left in public places, which reads “it is unlawful to leave, abandon, discard, or place any wheeled shopping cart in, on, or near any highway, street, alley or traffic lane,” the $5 fine that came with a violation has been ineffective, Village Manager John O’Sullivan said.
“What we’ve had in town is a recent spate of increasing numbers of stray shopping carts from Walmart and the Dollar store,” O’Sullivan said. “Walmart does their share of chasing them but can’t get to them all. Our code enforcement guys will occasionally pick them up and bring them back.”
