Petsmart's sooo wasteful!

Isn't it illegal to go through someone else's trash, especially companies like that?? O_o

Well my experience from working at PetCo is that we don't throw stuff away unless its broken or if its bags of food that have been accidentally opened we HAVE to throw it away, regardless of whether its still good or not. But your petsmart does sound wasteful if nothing you got was broken O_o

I believe it is illegal, Jessika - but I'd have to check on it for sure. Maybe Cataholic knows more? Either way, it's sad they waste so much but I still don't think I could bring myself to dumpster dive... legal or not.

Yes it is without permission from the store. We found this out because my parents were Fined heavily for dumpster diving without permission. When I was really little, my family and a couple of other families, were dumpster divers. We had to get written permission from the stores whose dumpsters we raided. Our regular dumpsters were Alpha Beta, Vons and Kmart... there were some amazing finds.... And remember those really cool fruit and veggie crates with the pretty labels on the ends, and milk crates... we were told back then it was a $500 fine for each one, unless you had permisson...

we had a lot of those!
