Petsmart's sooo wasteful!

[Zany_girlie]

That is really crazy!!! I can't believe they just throw things out for the silliest things. I think that is really dumb because they stuff could be donated to pets that really need it......but hey at least you get free stuuf out of it . If only they knew.....i'm sure they would prob charge you to go dumpster diving

No they wouldn't charge you, you would get fined because its illegal.

Hey, thanks for the tip. It's funny that you started this thread because when I first went to PetSmart (about 1 year ago), I noticed a ton of stuff in the garbage. I was just about to check it out when an employee came out and started hanging out by the back door. I wasn't able to stay, so I left.

Now, I'm going to go there this weekend and check the dumpster out.

Anything I can't use, I'll give to the local shelter.

Thanks again!

P.S. Please bail me out if I get arrested.

I don't think the police will harass two senior citizens (Barbara & John..I'm not there yet lol) for "recycling". I can't wait to see the loot Barb got from there. The manager is easy going at this store, and even if any of us were spotted, he'd likely look the other way. But I mostly go when it starts getting dark out, or after the store closes on Sun. Not quite enough time to 'recycle' as much as I'd like to though...but can someone bail me out too if need be? I can't understand why Petco will donate pallets of food to the shelters, but not Petsmart...makes no sense at all.

Ignorance is bliss.

I'll have to go take a look sometime

thats weird

Too bad theres not a petsmart near me, well not that I know of anyway....

[wolfsoul]

Petcetera is the worst -- I cringed everyday when I had to throw out dozens of brand new things. Unfortunatly there won't be any "dumpster diving" though -- they make you completely smash everything before you throw it out so that people can't steal it.

[Flatcoatluver]

i will never be going dumbster diving since i work at the adoption ceter in petsmart, I know what kind of stuff they put in there and i don't want to go looking.

[areias]

Hah, I currently work at Petsmart. (Well, I'm quitting tomorrow...I couldn't take it...) And yea, I don't think most employees care about you taking stuff. Heck you could probably pay them $10 and they could hand it to you. Just pick a real dopey looking one. Just watch out for the managers.

Thanks for the tip!

I think I'm going to go to the nearest costume shop and pick up the uniform of a cop or that of a security guard, then I'll "investigate" the dumpster for evidence...
