[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Township of
Lower Merion 11-18-1970 by Ord. No. 1625.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
No merchant in the Township of Lower Merion shall by any act of omission
or commission permit or in any way fail to control or restrict the removal
from his premises of any shopping cart which may be made available by him
to any customer; and no person shall abandon any shopping cart so provided
upon any street or any other public place in this township.
All merchants who shall make shopping carts available to their customers
shall at all times have firmly affixed to such carts a metal, plastic or similarly
suitable identification disc or plate which shall contain the name of the
merchant and the address of the building in this township where such cart
is regularly kept or stored. In the event that any such identification disc
or plate on any shopping cart shall be removed or missing or be defaced so
as to be illegible, the owner thereof shall at once remove the cart from availability
for use by his customers until the cart has been properly identified as required
herein.
Any shopping cart which is found by any police officer or other township
employee upon any street, highway, sidewalk, shopping center or any other
public place in this township shall be deemed to have been abandoned by the
owner thereof.
[Amended 9-21-1977 by Ord. No. 1802; 8-3-1988
by Ord. No. 3104]
Any merchant or person who shall violate the provisions of this chapter
shall be subject to prosecution before any District Justice and, upon conviction
thereof, shall pay a fine or penalty of not more than $600 to and for use
by the Township of Lower Merion. Prosecution shall be instituted hereunder
on complaint of a police officer or other township employee, and each shopping
cart which is found to have been abandoned shall constitute a separate violation
of the provisions hereof.
