Canadian shoppers are discarding their old shoes and clothes in mall parking lots in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls region. They wear their newly purchased clothes home to avoid paying a duty when they go through customs to re-enter Canada.
Managers at plazas in the area, including The Summit Mall, have placed collection bins near the exits where Canadian customers can deposit their unwanted items, rather than leaving them scattered across parking lots and in restrooms and dressing rooms.
I live 10 minutes from the US border crossing at Lewiston but I'd rather pay a few bucks more here than sit for hours waiting to get through customs on the return trip.
