A man who collected $21,495 in loose change donated it to charity.
Florida's Rick Snyder picked up any loose change he found on his daily four-hour walks, inside vending machine change slots and car wash vacuums.
"It's absurd how wasteful people are," Snyder tells local paper Bradenton Herald.
After 10 years of picking up coins and dollars here-and-there he decided to donate all 100 jars and 2,500-pounds of it to the Gulf Shore Animal League, which takes care of feral cats.
His donation was reportedly the largest the rescue group ever received from just one person.
Donating to the feral cats was important to Snyder because he often sees them on his walks and says he has been taking care of them for years, he explains to Bradenton Herald.
The money will help the rescue group afford to spay and neuter the cats, which needs to be done before someone rescues the animal, Cheryl Wade, president of the rescue group, tells Bay News 9.
It costs more to do these procedures than it costs for people to adopt the animals, she adds.
"This is just over the top," Wade tells Bay News 9. "It will help so many animals in our community."
Snyder also collects old, thrown-away towels to wash and donate, as well as water bottles in garbage bins that aren't being recycled and disposes of them properly.
