So much gets tossed because it’s too hard to sell, dispose off, temporarily lend/rent out, share, store, give away free to needy, maintain/repair etc.
Here is Seattle, you even have to pay for some charitable orgs to pick up stuff. One is booked into July for pickups.

I don’t buy that slogan. Almost all process industries should be relatively centralized.
