San Jose tests magnetic barriers to reduce abandoned shopping carts, cutting stray carts by 40% but facing user complaints.
San Jose launched a pilot program to reduce abandoned shopping carts by installing magnetic barriers at store entrances, which automatically lock carts when they leave designated zones.
The initiative aimed to curb the $1 million annual cost of retrieving stray carts.
Early results showed a 40% reduction in carts found outside stores, though some residents reported difficulties returning carts due to the new system.
The city plans to evaluate the program's long-term effectiveness before deciding on expansion.
