A woman was left furious after watching Aldi staff throw away mountains of plastic-packaged food - despite asking if she could buy it to donate to charity.
"I took a picture of it because I couldn’t believe the amount of waste, especially in this day and age, with the cost of living crisis and homeless people. All the plastic and cardboard would’ve gone straight to landfill as well rather than being recycled.” Aldi states that perishable products such as fruit and vegetables, bread and meat are discounted by either 30% or 75% before stores close on the day before their use-by date. They also say they donate surplus food which is safe to eat, however it is unclear how or to where the food is given.
