We've talked about that kind of policy before. Many stores and companies will not donate stuff partly because of liability risk and partly because of the risk of people getting the donated items and trying to return them back to the store for credit. So they have to trash the stuff. My wife used to be a manager of a sporting goods store. Not only did they trash stuff, but they had to destroy it first so that it couldn't be returned.
