Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I also was one of the many who witnessed the events unfold on national television from our office in Montgomery, New York. Over the next couple of days I remember viewing the many investigators bent over manually sorting through the debris. I immediately thought that I knew of a better way to process the material. Now years later, I feel that I really made a tremendous contribution. I was that person who brought the first conveyor belt system onto the Freshkills Landfill to mechanize the sorting effort. My experience lies completely in sorting and processing construction and demolition debris, and knew I could help. My family and I, own and operate a solid waste processing facility here in New York State. Looking back, it was quite a crazy chain of events that led us to assisting the 34 different Federal, State and local agencies in sorting over 600,000 Ton of the World Trade Center debris. First and foremost, it was the most honorable project I have ever been apart of. Secondly, there are still mental scars that I am sure will never leave my mind. Everything considered I would do it all over again and again. My stories could fill many pages, more than I am willing to write all in one sitting- good bye for now.
