Walmart destroys unsold items rather than donates
"...the New York Times reported a disheartening story about two of the largest retail chains." "... Wal-Mart has been throwing them (unsold clothing) out in giant trash bags. And in the case that someone may stumble on these bags and try to keep or re-sell the items, these companies have gone ahead and slashed up garments, cut off the sleeves of coats, and sliced holes in shoes so they are unwearable."
