My hunch would be that the hamster was bought as a pet for a child. The child probably quickly lost interest and couldn't be bothered to feed it. The parents couldn't be bothered to spend any time either feeding it, as they regarded it as the child's responsibility. So in the end, rather than spend their "valuable" time (spent watching TV or drinking beer?) on finding a new home or taking the hamster to a refuge, they took the "easy" way out of dumping the poor creature in a bin. Thank goodness the council worker spotted this hamster.
