Garbage the hamster saved in dramatic rescue

Meet Garbage.

This handsome little chap was dumped in his cage at the bottom of a large household wheelie bin in Market Street, Herne Bay.

Luckily, just as Serco's crew was in the process of emptying it and the rubbish was being crushed, plucky little Garbage leapt to safety and landed straight into the arms of the loader, Courteney Lawson.

With his new name and a new cage, Garbage is now settling into his new home with the crew's driver Martyn Eldridge and his partner.

Don't you just love happy endings!
