A Bronx teen has been charged with a misdemeanor after cops found her dead baby in a trash chute.

Ariel Devonish-Francis, 19, of West Farms Road allegedly threw the baby out in a black plastic bag, police sources said.

Devonish-Francis went to Albert Einstein University Hospital on Saturday and allegedly told staff she had given birth or miscarried and threw the baby into the chute.

Investigators found the baby’s remains in the bag with the trash around 6 p.m. Saturday.
