The RFID Tag

A special tag is embedded into your cart. The tag is used by our City for inventory purposes. It associates your particular cart with your address. Though the cart is provided for your use, it remains the property of the City.The tag helps us to track your cart in case it is lost or stolen. It also helps us to create a log of the repairs your cart receives and to take advantage of warranty replacement should it apply.
