JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Blight Unit officers from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office teamed up with the city of for the first-ever shopping cart round-up.
Employees formed a posse along Beach Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard, collecting 54 abandoned shopping carts. Some were filled with trash, others had been pushed into the woods.
The carts were collected, removed from streets, sidewalks and neighborhoods, and returned to the stores they belong to.
“This may seem like a small issue, but abandoned carts can quickly collect garbage and become an eyesore,” a news release from JSO said. “Tackling these issues is just one of many ways we try to keep Jacksonville looking its best.”
