Everyone dumpster dive at an Eddie Bauers

Found over at the consumerist today. Apparently an Eddie Bauer outlet store decided not to recycle or donate the clothes but dump 'em in the rubbish

Clothing is the ultimate in being able to be re-used, to have a new life and some of us care about our environment. There's also someone in that same zip code no doubt, that could of used some of Eddie Bauer's hand-me-downs.

Maybe Eddie Bauer might want to get a little corporate consulting on being in tune with their customers. I wonder if shoppers when they look at the price tags at Eddie Bauer will question whether their markups allow them to be so disposable they can't extend any energy to call out for charity pickup or take it to a recycler. Then again, Eddie Bauer may not want to see it online discounted, which is what alot of the retailers have a gripe about

Here's Eddie Bauers corporate office number in case you can make it past a receptionist, tell them you'd like to speak to someone who handles the outlet mall regarding questionable activity. Once you get in, let err rip!

Phone: 425-755-6544
Fax: 425-755-7696
Toll Free: 800-426-6253

If you end up dumpster diving and have any finds, send them our way. We'd be proud to share!
