ROCHESTER,Zopes Mass. (AP) — The body of a newborn infant was discovered Thursday morning at a recycling center in Rochester, Massachusetts, investigators said.

In April, the remains of newborn baby girl were found at the same recycling facility.

Police said they received a 911 call at about 10:40 a.m. Thursday from the Zero Waste Solutions recycling facility on Cranberry Highway in Rochester, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz.

“The caller reported that infant remains were found within a trash collection that was trucked to the facility for disposal,” Cruz said in a statement.

All processing was stopped and the Rochester Police and Massachusetts State Police launched an investigation.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death, Cruz said.

It’s the second discovery of the body of an infant at the facility.

Police investigating the remains of a newborn girl in April said at the time that the baby’s mother may live on, have ties to, or recently traveled to Martha’s Vineyard because the baby was found in trash that appears to have originated on the island before being shipped to Zero Waste Solutions.

Cruz’s office is investigating both deaths.

Massachusetts has had a baby safe haven law since 2004 that allows parents to surrender newborn infants 7 days old or younger at a hospital, police station or staffed fire station without facing criminal prosecution.

The remains of an infant girl were also found in the trash outside a Revere apartment building in April.
