THIS IS INTERESTING .................
In the near future, WALMART hopes there will be no dumpsters at their stores and no landfills with Walmart throwaways.
I've done a lot of demos at Walmart, and I have seen how much goes out the back door each day, the above will be quite an accomplishment. I know where the throwaway meat goes, but not sure about the produce, bakery, etc., will be quite an accomplishment. I understand they don't like to give anything away, can come back at them, the meat, they sell, yea, they pay someone to haul it away. My understanding is it lets them off the hook if anything is wrong.
