But I know of one local chain that calls a few different soup kitchens with a kindly informational message on the days that they're going to toss the milk because the expiration date has come and gone.

Here in the Ohio, however, it's far more common to sell leavings to hog farmers. There's a hieararchy for things like bread. It starts out at the local retail store. If it doesn't sell, it goes to the discount store. If it doesn't sell, it gets sold for hog slop.
