[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of River
Edge 3-2-1981 as Ord. No. 784 (§ 4-15 of the 1975 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
Any device apparatus which uses wheels and which shall be made of
metal, wood or otherwise, provided by merchants for the carting or carrying
of merchandise from the premises to automobiles or other places.
[Amended 10-4-1982 by Ord.
No. 825]
It shall be the duty of all owners of premises which make shopping carts
available to their customers to post signs at all entrances and exits advising
the public that anyone possessing a cart, or the owner of property on which
a shopping cart is found, off the premises of the store owner, is subject
to a fine or imprisonment in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
For a violation of any provision of this chapter, the maximum penalty,
upon conviction thereof, shall be a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars
($1,000.), or imprisonment for up to ninety (90) days, or a period of community
service not exceeding ninety (90) days, or any combination thereof.
[Amended 10-4-1982 by Ord. No.
825[1]]
The Borough may authorize the Department of Public Works of the Borough
of River Edge or any other agency of the Borough to remove shopping carts
from the streets, avenues, roads or highways. The owners of such shopping
carts can retrieve such carts upon a payment of a fee as set forth in the
Borough Fee Schedule, adopted by resolution of the Borough Council, on file
in the office of the Borough Clerk, to the Chief Financial Officer of the
Borough of River Edge for this retrieval and storage. The borough shall notify
the owners of its possession of the carts it has removed from the streets.
Upon the failure of the owners to pay the above fee and to pick up the carts
within thirty (30) days, the borough may dispose of them as trash or any other
means they deem to be appropriate without any further obligation to the owner
of these carts.
