Stacks of Saturday's Vindicator Went Straight from the Presses to the Recycling Bin

Hubbard has a great recycling program.  You bag up your recyclables and drop them off in the designated dumpsters behind the fire station.  Very nice.  When we were dropping off our stuff this morning I noticed the paper section of the dumpster was filled with stacks of unsold copies of Saturday's Vindicator.  I wonder if their negative editorials about public employees are costing them sales?

As someone who works for a newspaper (not in Y-town), there are a couple of examples. Normally, the first 500 copies of any paper are off registration, presses need about some time to get it right. Most papers rycle onsite and would not use an off-site reycling bin.
If they weren't folded, best guess is they came from a Distribution Center. Thats where newspapers bring the papers and the contract carriers bag them and take them to be delivered. I bet a carrier dumped them after takeing more than his allotment
