A bank in northern Colombia searched desperately Wednesday through 3,000 tons of landfill waste for money that ended up in the trash.
A bank employee mistakenly discarded $19,000 on Monday in the city of Bucaramanga in the northern Santander department, reported El Colombiano. The bank reported the incident on Wednesday to the Bucaramanga trash disposal company (EMAB) but so far has had no success in locating the funds.
The bank offered EMAB employees a $2,800 reward to rescue their cash from the fetid mess.
