The Brief A Brooklyn resident accidentally threw away priceless heirloom rings in the trash and immediately called 311 for help. The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) intercepted the specific garbage truck and dumped it, so the load could be sifted. When some irreplaceable heirlooms were accidentally tossed into the garbage, the New York City Department of Sanitation swooped in to pull off a miraculous rescue. A sanitation truck loaded with garbage was pulled aside and dumped out, so the contents could be carefully sifted. If the city is notified in time, DSNY will pull the specific garbage truck aside.
