Abandoned shopping carts
It is illegal to remove shopping carts from any business, and ultimately, the business providing these items is responsible for them. To help permanently resolve the problem of abandoned shopping carts, please call the businesses and provide feedback on how their shopping carts are impacting your neighborhood. There are many technological solutions for retrieval that have worked in other communities, and they are more likely to implement them if they perceive it as a serious problem. For short term resolution you can call the City of Ithaca Police at 272-3245. If none of these methods solve the problem, contact Paul Cowles at 273-6632.
268-3 of the Code of the City of Ithaca:
"It shall be unlawful for any person or his/her agent or employee to take, remove or possess any shopping cart beyond the premises of the identified owner of the shopping cart without the express permission of the identified owner."
