If it bugs you that much, look up the corporate address (ie, the local
manager's boss), and send them a nasty note, with a CC to the local paper
and also to whoever enforces the illegal dumping laws in your town.

Most grocers employ cart retreival services (or have the older lot kids do
it), both because the carts cost money, and for public relations reasons.
Even if the carts are obsolete, the second reason still applies.
Or, just wait a week till some of the new carts show up on your block, and
chain them to the old carts. They won't be able to take one without the
other.... :^0
