David Ehrlich (b. 1945) is a businessman who owns and runs landfills.[1]

Education

[edit]

Ehrlich attended local schools and graduated from the Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science (now Philadelphia University) in 1964, then earned a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University in 1966.[2]

Business history

[edit]

After graduation, he spent two years working as a substitute teacher in Philadelphia. Then he teamed up with Richard Winn, a real-estate developer from Pottstown. For a finders fee, he sought out undervalued properties and recommended them to Winn.

In 1976, he met Anthony Amadei, a sand and gravel contractor who needed financing to expand his landfill work. Winn put up some money, and Ehrlich got a piece of the deal. The three partners then acquired the rights to operate three landfills in southern New Jersey. Winn and Amadei eventually dropped out, but Ehrlich found new partners and expanded his interests.[1]
