Baltimore's 'Mr. Trash Wheel' Has Lost a Giant Googly Eye
Fourteen feet tall and vaguely crustacean in looks, Baltimore’s trash-sifting water wheel won over green-minded locals when first installed in the city’s Inner Harbor in 2014. But when its overseeing organization, Healthy Harbor Initiative, slapped on a temporary pair of giant googly eyes last Halloween, “Mr. Trash Wheel” (as it’s known on Twitter) truly captured hearts and minds. More than 1,500 people petitioned for permanent peepers, based on their ability to make environmentalism more appealing.
Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing and promoting the waterfront district, parks, and public spaces. We create welcoming programs, events, and recreational experiences while working toward a healthy harbor. We are committed to fostering connections among diverse communities to ensure equitable access to our blue and green space
