@nonchalant080 suggested to the guy:
"Why not give it to a person? They are not trash."
@tatum_moyo wrote in the comments:
"Imagine someone comes and throws a big bag on top, and then it goes into the rubbish truck. Why are you even doing this?"
@pia.mw5, who was keen to get the money, stated:
"I know this place, but I am very far."
@ricardotheunissen80 laughed and shared their assumptions:
"He probably took it out as soon as he stopped recording."
An interested @imlegendaryyy added in the comment section:
"When did you dump it? I know exactly where and what bin that is."
@thaakirah311 was not a fan of the video and said:
"Please don't do this. If you intend to 'help' someone, don't degrade them."
