After an Ohio family accidentally threw away $25,000 in a discarded freezer, a local trash company found the money and returned it.<\/p>\n
This happened after a customer had called Republic Services saying she lost something important in the garbage. It ended up being $25,000 in cash.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were cleaning out their house for their grandmother and they cleaned out the refrigerator, threw out all the garbage, grabbed all the freezer stuff and put it in a bag, and then the grandma was like, \u2018Hey, there\u2019s an envelope with $25,000 in there, don\u2019t lose that,\u2019 and she\u2019s like, \u201cGrandma, I already lost that, it\u2019s in the garbage!\u201d said operations supervisor Gary Capan the News 5 Cleveland<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n They then got to work, in search of the missing money.<\/p>\n \u201cOne team was trying to track down the driver and find out exactly what his location was and if he made it to the landfill yet,\u201d said Capan.<\/p>\n The driver hadn\u2019t dropped his load at the Oberlin, Ohio landfill yet, so the team arranged to get the truck dropped off at their recycling center. Once the driver arrived and dumped out the waste in his truck, 10 workers began searching, until Dan Schoewe found the cash in a bag.<\/p>\n \u201cCouldn\u2019t believe it took 10 minutes and actually, I said, \u2018Man, it looks just like that,\u2019 pulled it off, opened it up and there was the package inside the money,\u201d said Schoewe. \u201cThey were so happy they were tearing up.\u201d<\/p>\n The employee\u2019s incredible teamwork left the family so happy and grateful. \u201cMakes us feel good here. Made myself feel good. I was like, \u2018yeah that\u2019s awesome.\u2019 What a great story. And we\u2019re just glad to help,\u201d Capan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After an Ohio family accidentally threw away $25,000 in a discarded freezer, a local trash company found the money and returned it.
