What Are Cart Corrals and How Do They Work?

Cart Corrals are designated return areas in parking lots where customers place their shopping carts after use. Typically located throughout the lot, these corrals help collect and contain carts, preventing them from being left loose where they can block parking spaces, damage vehicles, or create safety hazards.
