Destruction or recycling? In any case, sensitive souls refrain ...

Before the thing gets too big, I relay here this series of photos which is currently a mini-buzz among fans of LEGO on Facebook. Everyone goes there in the comments of their diatribe against LEGO "which destroys dozens of boxes instead of giving them to the needy or selling them with a substantial discount to AFOLs ..."

The problem is that we do not know if it is pure and simple destruction (I doubt it) or recycling (I think it is), if it is a stock of damaged products from a reseller's stock (probably) or from products seized by the customs services of an unidentified country (probably not), etc.

From the photos, we can see staff who seem to separate the cardboard boxes from the bags of parts, and that's it.

So, before you get carried away and join those who cry out to boycott the brand because it throws away its products instead of giving / selling / recycling them and those who, tear in their eyes, imagine all the little private children of LEGO who would be happy to unbox these boxes, even damaged, keep in mind that these photos have been uploaded on a facebook page without precise explanations of what they represent exactly and that the truth about these scenes of dismantling of LEGO sets is without doubt elsewhere.

While waiting to learn more, I put here some photos from the gallery in question for those who do not have a facebook account:
