Mr. Trash Wheel is a googly-eyed, trash-skimming water wheel installed at the bottom of Jones Falls watershed, which empties into the Baltimore Harbor.
The Healthy Harbor Initiative for the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, which has given the harbor a failing water quality grade every year since 2012, wants to make these waters swimmable by 2020.
