Instead of pitching it they bring it home and pass it out to the neighbors. It's stupid - most stuff is good far past the posted date, and most of what we get is things like dried beans, rice, peanut butter, and cheese, but also perfectly good fresh veggies. Nothing wrong with it. I've no problem taking it, better it ends up in my pot than in the trash. Got some red beans and rice in the cooker as we speak, I bought some smoked sausage to go in it so the whole big pot cost me about $4. There's at least 3 full meals for the two of us.
