Ok, I can understand that this is how capitalism and consumerism work, it's a lot cheaper just to trash the item and manufacture a new one instead of to check returns, but why don't they donate them to schools, communities, churches (or even better gift them to low paying amazon warehouse workers)??? Out of ~130k items per week they only donated ~30k items.
