My husband got a lot of items from dumpsters at the beach and the contractors told him "Lots of these items are "special order" and then the customer doesn't like it and it can't be returned, and they've paid for it, so we just have to toss it." All those C-PAP machines he has found, were discontinued and new models sent to people, but you're right, that a lot is just waste. 85% of clothes are tossed, as people don't bother to donate them.

Amazing and disturbing. No matter how I cut it this idea of throwing away new, unused or perfectly usable items it comes up…wrong. The idea that there’s more money to be made by the company by throwing out usable items while also burdening our already overburdened landfills just doesn’t add up to anything decent or good. Mike earns his money and does the country a valuable service. It’s just astonishing…the waste!!

I am reminded of when I worked in a large UK Government tax office 25 years ago. When they upgraded all our office PCs, we asked if we could have the old ones. They turned around and claimed that giving us the PCs would amount to be a "payment in kind". Which would be taxable, so they wouldn't let us have them.
