Workers go trash-picking for woman's rings

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) - May 17, 2012

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.
