As the proverb goes – “one person\u2019s trash is another person\u2019s treasure.”<\/p>\n
And one nonprofit is trying to return someone\u2019s treasure that they found in the trash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is small, silver, with two hearts and a pink stone.<\/p>\n
If that description rings a bell \u2013 then it might be your ring. <\/p>\n
Volunteers with the nonprofit Sanitation Foundation said they came across the lost ring during one of its cleanup events on Aug. 2 in Mott Haven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was found in the weeds along the curb on Alexander and Third avenues, across the street from the Mott Haven Houses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The ring is engraved with Bronx Collegiate Academy Class of 2024 and has two initials inside. \u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve definitely found treasures and trash,\u201d said Johari James, manager of community engagement for the Sanitation Foundation. \u201cWe\u2019ve found some jewelry, maybe a necklace here, but nothing that has the actual initials on it and has some sort of description that we can trace it back to the owner. Hopefully, this is a wonderful story for somebody. We can bring some light to somebody who may have lost their ring.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the proverb goes – “one person\u2019s trash is another person\u2019s treasure.” And one nonprofit is trying to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":141882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,38851,84470,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-141881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-clean-up","10":"tag-lost-ring","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-city","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkcity","15":"tag-ny","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-united-states-of-america","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","21":"tag-us","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115020453960927704","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
