Cat Rescued From Recycling Bin - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.

Sure, everyone is recycling these days but it is possible to take the concept of recycling too far?

A young kitten almost got crushed in trash recently after someone threw her into a recycling bin.

This happened in Plymouth, UK.

While the Devon Contract Waste Depot's workers were crushing that day's trash, they heard the kitten's cries and halted the machine just in time to save her.

Since then, the kitten has been under the care of the waste company's staff and has been given the name 'Lucky'.

In a similar incident, a puppy got trapped in an underground pipe. A rescue operation over a span of full day was undertaken to save him. The puppy 'Nelson' was cold and afraid when he was brought out but subsequently, he found a loving home.

Not just animals tend to get caught in such situations, there have been many incidents involving young kids. In one of the most gut-wrenching reports, a 2-year-old baby was rescued from a well in China. Rescuers used an iPhone video camera to identify the baby's position in a remarkable operation.
