Mr. Trash Wheel Expands to Port Covington and Masonville Cove, Md.

In 2015, the City of Baltimore launched a waste water wheel named Mr. Trash Wheel into the Inner Harbor to help clean up waste from the harbor. Shortly after that in 2016, the city unveiled a second waste water wheel named Professor Trash Wheel, which is smaller than the original waste water wheel and operates more quickly because it’s collecting small pieces of trash.
