Businesses properly registered for federal government work continue to put all their efforts into collecting damaged items from homes, but have yet to see any sight of the finish line. According to the Associated Press, New York City has collected an estimated 271,000 tons of ruins and debris just from local neighbors alone.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau reported 52,000 reports of car damage from Hurricane Sandy stating claims that include massive water damage from flooding and smashed car frames from fallen trees. Long Beach, NY public work crews worked 16 hours shifts to accumulate sand from buried parts of the city. The sand collected from the city streets now currently stands 5 stories high. Rocks and fragments have been moved to landfills in Pennsylvania. Garbage barges have also been called into service to help traffic the wreckage across the Hudson to new locations to dump the rubble. Beaches across the New Jersey shore have been affected so dramatically that an abundant of vehicles are still blocking most of the roadways in these areas. The blocked roads are causing mass confusion for towing companies hired to collect vehicles stranded on front lawns and vacant streets.
