Summit County, Colorado – A raccoon trapped inside a recycling container was captured on video surrounded by plastic bottles, an almond milk carton and other recyclable materials.

The scene then shifts outdoors to a large green recycling dumpster. The raccoon climbs onto the top edge near the openings before walking along the rim.

It carefully makes its way down onto the attached metal platform and stairs, eventually disappearing from view.

The video ends with the official Summit County Sheriff’s Office badge.
