Deb Kirby says she took the rings off one day last week to dry them after washing her hands. She tells The Sun Chronicle she wrapped them in a paper towel, got distracted and tossed them.
Distraught, she called Waste Management.
The company had the truck that picked up her garbage unload at a transfer station.
She knew the rings were in a black bag with a blue drawstring. She and Waste Management workers found it in just 30 minutes.
She says she's "extremely grateful and so very impressed" by Waste Management.
