An employee used a forklift to dump the contents from a small dumpster into a larger dumpster when the cardboard got stuck in the small dumpster. When he pulled the cardboard, the lid on the small dumpster closed and pinched his finger, crushing and lacerating his left index fingertip.  The skin flap from the laceration was later removed during surgery to repair his finger.
