Company Merchandise After Dismissal - How Long Before We Can Toss It?

Location: CA

Employer has committed wage theft since day 1 by paying only a portion of wages, and ended by stealing 100% of the last 3 weeks of wages. They are not on good terms, and are filing a wage theft claim.

Company merchandise has been an issue and a huge hardship since the beginning, and the failure to pay wages has not been the only issue with them. It was not discussed prior to hire and we would not have agreed to it. It is now still here and still causing issues. How long do we need to hold onto company merchandise before tossing it, legally speaking? We consider them a non cooperative, hostile party at this point.

We sent an email summarizing last phone call, stating we’d no longer be working, and asking for which date the delivery team would come to pick the merchandise up. We set a deadline of October 1. They didn’t respond until the deadline or day before with a vague “when are you available” message, and we replied. They’ve not responded since. First email was sent September 24.
