Stray shopping carts pose safety issues for pedestrians and motorists as well as contribute to blight. The Shopping Cart Retrieval Program works with retail and grocery companies to ensure they are accountable for shopping carts located outside of their commercial property boundaries. The City of Phoenix charges retail owners a cart retrieval fee for every cart reported abandoned and collected by city contractors.
To report an empty and abandoned shopping cart, not on private property, you may call 602-534-4444, or email shopping.carts.nsd@phoenix.gov, or go online at myPHX311.
