At my gas local station, the cashier was throwing out stacks and stacks of sealed, seasonal ICEE paper cups because they got new ones and her manager told her to throw them out. I took them all out of the dumpster, thinking of a friend who runs a daycare, a friend who has a graduation party upcoming, etc.

When I got them home, I realized about half of them have ICEE points x2 on them. I would like some feedback on the ethics of redeeming these ICEE points?

Keep in mind, I secured these cups on my own, I was not given them by an employee... though she was smiling and waving as I loaded them into the minivan...

I have 3 little kids, so I could order towels, tshirts, beachball, etc. This is the type of thing I am talking about:
