- Waste workers at EMAB waste firm in Bucaramanga, Columbia can collect a $2,800 reward if they find the 34 million pesos ($19,000) accidently thrown away by a bank worker.
- After the bank workers noticed the money was gone, they were sent to the landfill to sift through 3,000 tons of waste.
- The landfill collects 900 tons of waste per day and it took two days for the bank to report the missing money so finding the money is going to be quite difficult.
