Presumably the vet has to pay for a professional service to empty the dumpster regularly so the contents are safely disposed of. The dumpster would not just contain the bodies of dogs and cats, but all species that have had to be put down, such as pet birds, rodents, hamsters and reptiles.
I see nothing wrong in this. It is human sentimentality to think that every pet needs to have a funeral. It is the owner's right to take the body and bury it or have it cremated, but some owners will not want to bother to do this and will be happy to let the vet dispose of their dead pet in a responsible way.
