    Mr. Trash Wheel has done great things for the Baltimore harbor. What happens is the Jones Falls River gets a lot of runoff during rainstorms, and trash washes into it, which ends up to the harbor. Mr. Trash Wheel sits at the mouth of the river, where it meets the harbor and has collected over 1500 tons of trash since it was installed back in 2014.

    Trash wheels aren’t a solution to the problem, but they are a useful tool in helping to fight climate change and protecting local ecosystems.
