A newborn baby’s remains were found by shocked workers sorting waste in a Bronx recycling plant Wednesday, police and sources said.
The baby’s leg, cut off at the knee with a foot attached, was spotted mixed in with waste on a conveyor belt at the city Department of Environmental Protection plant on Ryawa Ave. in Hunts Point about 9 a.m., officials said.

Workers immediately halted the conveyor belt, called police and did a search, but no other remains were found.
The city Medical Examiner’s office will determine how the baby died.
