A Perry man sustained serious injuries—including two broken arms—after falling headfirst into a dumpster at the Harrison Blue Roll-Off site Friday.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was airlifted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital and remains in stable condition. According to family members, he had surgery Tuesday morning to replace an elbow joint that was shattered in the fall.
