City Council Takes Action on Abandoned Shopping Carts
10/17/2007
The City Council on
Oct. 16 approved an ordinance dealing with stray shopping carts. Peoria acted in
conjunction with state law, which holds retailers responsible for wayward carts.
A new technician in the city’s Code Compliance Office will round up abandoned
carts for impound. Retailers must retrieve them within three days to avoid a
fine. After three days, they will pay $30 plus an additional $5 per day.
