Les Sherlock, 70, was left distraught when his wedding ring slipped off his finger as he tipped waste into a skip at Poole's Household Waste Recycling Centre. He has recently lost a lot of weight due to ill health.
An upset Mr Sherlock and his wife, Gill, 71, informed staff as to what had happened and they were eager to help reunite the pensioner with his wedding ring. They took the couple's telephone number and said they would try to find the ring and call them back.
Three workers at the site then started to go through the 35 yard skip which had been filled with rubbish, searching for over half an hour when they managed to locate the ring.
Mr Sherlock commented: "As committed Christians, when we got home my wife prayed that God would lead the men to my ring; but I was inconsolable, knowing it was impossible they could find a small ring in a huge skip about one-third full of garden waste.
"When we returned to the tip and I was able to replace it on my hand, I completely fell apart, hardly being able to believe it. I will be forever grateful for the honesty, integrity, persistence and care of the men at the Waste Recycling Centre for a rather stupid and (at the time) vulnerable fellow-human being; and I am delighted to have the opportunity to express this."
Ian Poultney, Environmental Development Manager, Borough of Poole, added: "Our staff at the tip are always very helpful and provide a high level of customer service. So it's not surprising that they were moved by this incident and wanted to help the couple in any way they could, even though they knew there was a slim chance of finding the ring. We're just pleased the guys did find it and there was a very happy outcome after all."
