    99%? Is there any data to back that up? I see incredible amounts of waste just where I am. I can’t imagine a number even close to 99 is true.

    It depends on who you poll as well. If you only talk to stores that do it and ignore the ones that don’t, your averages are going to be misinformed data skewed too high. I dunno.

    99 is an unreasonable number so I don’t believe you.

      I can tell you 99% is what I donated out of everything I got rid of. I donated well over $1k+ a day, it was a big store. Rest went to pig farms or whatever it went lol. Believe what you want to believe, just remember you don’t really have any contrary evidence either, and obviously I’m giving anecdotal evidence.
