Mr. Trash Wheel, Olive Your New Look
Two of Baltimore’s popular solar-powered, garbage-intercepting trash wheels are sporting some new accessories thanks to one of the city’s oldest food manufacturers. Pompeian, Inc., Baltimore-based maker of olive oil since 1906, and America’s largest brand for olive oil, wine vinegars, and cooking sprays, has “adopted” Mr. Trash Wheel and Professor Trash Wheel for the next year.
Mr. Trash Wheel — Baltimore's Googly-Eyed Trash Collector
You’ve probably seen it—a barge-like vessel with a slowly moving steel wheel hitched to its side, and a curved white PVC-fabric cover lined with solar panels arched across its top. And, last but certainly not least, it’s hard to miss the pair of playful, five-foot tall googly eyes on top, which brings the contraption to life.
