worked for did not do that. It was mandatory that all of it went into the sealed dumpster. If an employee got casught taking something that was to be thrown away, they were fired on the spot.

I always had a problem with their rational on that regulation, but nobody was going to listen to me. It wasn't only one state either. He worked in three different states and all had the same rule. Sad IMO. I was once told they were concerned that some employees would simply put some items aside until they were scheduled for tossing, and somehow get the product free through a donation.
