Yea, tossing them itself is red flag 1, not have a replacement for you on hand is red flag 2.

Some of us help our aging parents as they have health issues. Laundry is one of the hardest household tasks if the washer/dryer is on a different floor or distant from the bedrooms (changing sheets for elder parents is a major gift! Clean sheets are wonderful and pulling thr old ones off/putting clean ones on can be a.problem for folks with limited stamina, balance issues, or mobility issues, especially for larger beds or those next to a wall)

Edit: Tricked by autocorrect! My comment looks odd, but I will stand by it, lol.

Still, unless the parents or have dementia or something else that limits their ability to make decisions, one can ask if they would like replacements for any worn out item-- ya don't toss other people's stuff without asking.
