Austin and his brother were taking trash to the dumpster when they heard a faint noise. 'I heard it and I instantly knew it was a baby and she was crying, so I jumped in the garbage can, or the dumpster, and I started moving bags away,' Austin told WMBF. 'I got two or three bags down and saw the baby's face pressed against the bag.' He added: 'It was tied shut…it was, it was horrible. I ripped it open and the umbilical cord was still there, the placenta, it was just born.'
