Amazon bins 130000 products a week from one distribution center alone.

Amazon Warehouse can be questionable as is. We used to do the same when I worked in retail.

Amazon have been known to sell off the pallets at auction in the US. I wonder why they aren't doing that.

I’ve watched loads of YouTube vids from the US where people have bought pallets. Some got some really good stuff, but the vast majority is tat like charging cables, cheap phone cases, old PS and Xbox games with smashed cases, that sort of thing.
 
Every time I've returned an Amazon product it's been to a Dunfermline address, even though I live in the South of England. So I'm not sure whether the implication that this happens in every warehouse is correct.
 
The numbers probably are minute compared to the sales numbers, the %age of waste is probably quite small.

They will always have waste, end of line items, items that don’t sell and items that cost more in space than the write off value.
 
I get that they have waste but over 130,000 items from one warehouse. They're spending money on packing it off to the dump so they could at the very least give it to charity.

What would a charity do with 100k phone cases a week?
 
And they are so worried about staff stealing stuff that they randomly check people's shoes and socks. They might as well put all this in a big pile at the warehouse and let people take them.
