Rubbish collectors in America sorted through 10 tons of trash to recover a wedding ring accidentally thrown away by a New Jersey couple.

Bridget Pericolo had placed the ring in a cup that her husband, Angelo, threw out with the rubbish before leaving for work.

When he realised the mistake, he contacted the town's sanitation supervisor, who suggested coming by the dump, the Daily Record reported.

Supervisor Michael Brotons and sanitation workers Edgar Lopez and Joseph McGee dug through the refuse until they found the rubbish bag that Angelo Pericolo had thrown away.

The Pericolos recently celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary.
