Tulsa Cart Repo Snags 1,917 Walmart Trolleys for $100K, Locals Gawk

Tulsa Cart Repo program, launched with $100K, has wrangled 1,917 stray Walmart trolleys from 40 stores across the city. Abandoned carts now gather at Mohawk Park, with Cart Repo reselling them for $15â$20 eachâfar less than their $150 new price. âWeâre not getting any,â laments Tulsaâs streets director.
Since December, Cart Repoâs $100K mission has made shopping carts nearly extinct on Tulsaâs sidewalks. Most retailers refuse to buy back their own carts, leaving Tulsa to foot the bill. Metal carts may be recycled, but plastic ones lingerâlike wild herds awaiting a new prairie.
Reasorâs is the only store so far to buy back its recovered carts; others flatly refuse.
