In some states even unopened soaps and shampoos are thrown away-state health rules-(because of tampering). So, find out if the state you are staying in is one of those--if so, the soap and shampoo is yours, regardless of if it is opened or not. My cousin is a bigwig with a major chain, and they take all those unopened ones and donate them to homeless shelters and such. I remember reading an article about a guest in a hotel who lost their hair after shampooing with hotel provided shampoo--seems someone replaced part of the shampoo with Nair, and left it for the next guest. I would assume its the deadbeats like that who forced some states to changed threir health and santation rules.
