9/11 Memorial honors first responders, recovery workers on 10th anniversary of end of cleanup May 30th 2012, 06:22 NEW YORK –  The National September 11 Memorial and Museum is marking the 10th anniversary of the end of cleanup operations at the site with a tribute to recovery workers and first responders. The event is scheduled for Wednesday evening at the Sept. 11 memorial plaza at the World Trade Center site. After the attacks, workers spent months cleaning up the site. The formal end of that operation was May 30, 2002 and was marked with the removal of the last column of steel that had still been standing. Those at the site worked days and nights to clear away the enormous pile of rubble left behind after the towers fell. They removed an estimated 1.8 million tons of steel and concrete.
