While sorting through donated clothes a man working at the center found a lot of cash inside one item. According to the
Taichung Nantung District Environmental Protection Bureau, the 28-year-old Cleanup Team member was going through bags at a collection site when he found about $10,140 inside red envelopes stuck in the pockets of a piece of clothing.

She said she’d been saving up for retirement and for her daughter’s wedding gift and her husband donated the clothing without realizing the cash was inside.
