There must have been millions of subjects for Edison's filmmakers to point there cameras at back in 1903 so why on earth they thought that the collection and disposal of New York City's rubbish would prove a suitable subject to present to their dwindling audiences is a mystery. Add to this the fact that the camera has been positioned about a dozen feet from the men and you're left with a film that's as dull as it is unmemorable.
