The Candler Road Landfill dumps about 300 tons of trash a day, but they were able to narrow down what time the woman's trash may have been brought in.
They knew to find a black trash bag, and after nearly three hours of sifting through almost 10 tons of trash, they found it.
The last bag they check contained three diamond rings and a diamond tennis bracelet.
Thanks to a team of five landfill employees, the woman was able to have her beloved jewelry back.
