Mr. Trash Wheel

Mr. Trash Wheel


There's nothing cute about plucking plastic garbage out of Baltimore Harbor waters. Not until you've met Mr. Trash Wheels, anyway. Thanks to this floating trash wheel with giant googly eyes, Baltimore's inner harbor is cleaner than it's been in years. And it's getting clean in efficient and adorable style.

He Only Has Eyes For Trash


Mr. Trash Wheel is adorable, and incredibly effective. Since it hit the waters of Baltimore's Inner Harbor (where it can clear debris before it enters the Chesapeake Bay) in May 2014, Mr. Trash Wheel has scooped up over a million pounds of trash. This googly gadget is not messing around !
The wheel was born after creator John Kellett look a crack at creating a pilot device in 2008 that cleaned waste from the harbor. After revising the original model, and getting support from the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, Mr. Trash Wheel as we know it was born.


Mechanism :


According to National Geographic ,"The contraption works by drawing power from solar panels and the current of Jones Falls River to turn a waterwheel, which in turn powers a conveyer belt. Containment booms direct the trash towards the conveyer belt, which then drops the debris into a waiting Dumpster. That bin sits on its own platform and can be floated out when it's time to change it"
