Abandoned shopping carts constitute a nuisance, create potential hazards to the health
and safety of the public and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic as well
as emergency services within the City of Modesto. Wrecked, dismantled and/or abandoned
shopping carts on public or private property create conditions that reduce property
values, promote blight and deterioration within the City's neighborhoods.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide regulations pertaining to abandoned shopping
carts, unmarked shopping carts, and to provide a requirement for a mandatory plan
to prevent cart removal. This chapter is not intended to duplicate State law or regulate
any matters pertaining to shopping carts which are the subject of State law. To the
extent any provision of this chapter is determined to be preempted by State law, it
shall be deemed severed from all other provisions of this chapter and such other provisions
shall remain in full force and effect.
