Chico's shopping cart ordinance was enacted last month, but code enforcement is still working on cracking down on the new rules. The ordinance is officially in effect but still in the early stages. What's happening is that code enforcement will send retailers letters when they find their carts littered in the community, If and when code enforcement finds any stolen carts, they will contact the store that needs to retrieve them. They let them know where the cart is, and its up to the store to go pick it up.
