A resident of San Francisco, California (USA), whose identity was not revealed, lived through moments of terror in the early hours of Wednesday when he was accidentally dumped into a garbage truck dumpster while rummaging through the waste. The incident happened when a vehicle from the Recology company was performing routine collection in the city. The truck raised the dumpster and dumped all the contents, including the man who was hidden among the waste, directly into the rear of the vehicle.

Witnesses despaired when they heard cries for help coming from the truck. Immediately, they alerted the vehicle's driver about the situation. The rescue operation mobilized a large security scheme, with more than 20 firefighters dispatched to the scene, as reported by KTUV FOX 2.

The agents needed to carry out meticulous work to save the man. The process involved removing the accumulated trash inside the vehicle to locate and reach the resident, who was buried among the waste. The outcome of the incident was not detailed in the article.
