Photo taken in 2005 during the annual "Open House New York"" (OHNY) for a weekend touring through private homes, buildings and locations usually closed to the public in the five Boroughs. In this case, a paper recycling operation, where dedicated trash trucks pick up only recycled paper and drive to "the tipping floor" on a pier in the Hudson River to dump the contents into a barge positioned in the water below. The barge is pulled by a tug boat to another borough, Staten Island, New York, where the recycled paper is processed.
