In our case, we would get reimbursed from the manufacturers of merchandise that went unsold after a certain amount of time. But the reimbursement was contingent on us destroying the merchandise we were getting refunds for. Basically companies would buy back old stock and don't want it so they had us destroy it. It would be everything from PC's to printers to furniture to software.

yeah my sister's BF got fired for 'stealing' candy that was outdated and he was asked to open and dump in the trash. he would just put it in a box by the dumpsters or what not and grab it after work

I do understand why companies can't give out close dated food instead of destroying it as a homeless person who get's sick would feel just as entitled as one who actually paid for the food that got them sick, and like good americans sue
