IN the news today, a New York City woman has recovered her wedding and engagement rings from a New Jersey tip with some help from refuse workers.
Shannon Lombardo said she accidentally threw out the rings, which were in a paper towel.
She called 311 and the city delayed pick-ups from her Upper West Side building to give her a chance to sift through the building's rubbish.
When her search proved unsuccessful, the 46-year-old went to a facility in Fairview, New Jersey, with her husband. Workers identified the truck that took their garbage and removed 800 bags.
They then helped the Lombardos dig through the rubbish for an hour before finding the correct bag. Inside they found two rings nestled in some tissues.
