The City of Oakland Public Works Department has received this issue. It is registered as service request #689120. Please check back for status updates, or contact us directly at 510-615-5566.
OPD needs to start citing the shopping cart thieves and giving them community service. They also need to fine the owners of shopping carts for illegal dumping and creating a public nuisance. Maybe they would do a better job of not letting there get stolen. This also costs as consumers these carts end up in the landfill at our expense in higher prices.
There was a time when they did, that's why there was such a shift to baby carriages. Not anymore, I often see people walking down the sidewalk with Waste Management totes, too.
Thank for bringing up another issue Waste Management they have no idea where all there totes are and do not care. Just keep paying those high fee's. There needs to a complete inventory and audit done. They can fine them for illegal dumping and creating a public nuisance also and they can afford it.
