Danbury UNIT cracks down on errant shopping carts

A&P Supermarket on Padanaram Road has been sent a notice of violation from the Unified Neighborhood Inspection Team.  UNIT officials say the notice was to the Danbury store to alert them of dozens of shopping carts that are in their possession as a result of collecting them off of the streetside, sidewalks and various properties.

 

UNIT officials say the inventory continues to grow with no response from the store. 

 

Danbury adopted a shopping cart ordinance several years ago when a number of carts were found in public parks and city streets. 

 

The notice says that the carts will be discarded unless the UNIT hears from A&P to arrange for the carts to be retrieved.  Shopping carts taken off city streets and elsewhere are stored at the Public Works Department, and can be picked up after paying a storage and retrieval fee.  The storage fee is $2 per week, not exceeding $50.  There is a $10 retrieval fee per cart.
