Wal-Mart often throws out perfectly good clothing items and food items, but locks their dumpster so that the poor and homeless do not rummage through it and get the things they desperately need to survive. My mom worked for Wal-Mart for a while and my sister still does (she actually was just promoted to assistant store manager). My mom asked about the clothes they were throwing out once because she wanted to bring some home if it was not going to be sold, but they told her no, and told her that it was garbage and must be thrown out.

I don't work with the garbage trucks, I sit in a trailer back at the yard and take care of all their bills and book keeping.

Coincidence? Maybe not.
