| Description: | New York City Dumping Wharf Garbage barges being loaded with trash from two-wheeled, horse-drawn dump trucks. The trash is dumped off the edge of the pier onto the barge, where men with shovels are spreading the piles of debris. On another barge cars are dumping excavation rubble. Probably filmed on the East River, this was one of several New York City Sanitation Department dumping wharves in operation at the time. | |
