The city of Lincoln Recycling and Solid Waste was contacted recently by Alex Fraser, who told officials she noticed her wedding ring was missing hours after she tossed some recyclables into the mixed paper dumpster at the 12th and South streets recycling drop-off in Lincoln.

City employee Ryan Becker met Fraser at the drop-off and climbed into the bin to search for the ring. "I went on that side and slowly, carefully and patiently picked through some of the paper," Becker said. Becker said he found the ring in about 10 minutes. He said it was fortunate the ring hadn't fallen deeper into the dumpster. "Relief, just a wave of it," Fraser said, explaining her emotions when the ring was recovered. "I was very grateful he was able to help me and get in there and he was willing to spend that time to come down and look for it."
