April 28; 1903: New York City Dumping Wharf: a wharf where a barge is being loaded with trash from two-wheeled; horse-drawn wagons. The trash is dumped off the edge of the pier onto the barge; where men with shovels are spreading the piles of debris. The camera pans left to the next barge; where four-wheeled carts are shown dumping excavation rubble. Probably filmed on the East River; this is one of several New York City Sanitation Department dumping wharves in operation at the time.
