Auto part store policies. Who makes these stupid decisions?

I just saw a news video of the disposal of brand new, unopened ventilators that were produced at the beginning of the Covid 19 scare last year. Dumped in a landfill waiting to be covered over. Link below.

Why are new ventilators being trashed in a Miami-Dade landfill?

A resident who was taking some garbage to the South Dade Landfill was stunned to see pallets full of medical ventilators dumped as bulky trash.

Why not send those to Asia or Africa?

Why not send those to Asia or Africa?

Who is going to pay for the freight? And if there's no demand for it, remember they're the wrong type for the current crisis, there's no use for them.

I visit a very large corporate building very often for work and I’m in the loading dock areas. You’d be amazed at the perfectly good computers, office chairs, 3yr old monitors, etc. that get pitched into dumpsters. This company in their website says they are committed to the environment. It’s pretty sad.

Yeah people throw away all sorts of good stuff.
