Mr. Trash Wheel Immortalized in Song as Baltimore Harbor’s Hero
Mr. Trash Wheel is a water-driven trash-interceptor and collection machine that was installed four years ago at the mouth of the Jones Falls, where it empties into Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
It was invented by Baltimore entrepreneur John Kellett and has succeeded in collecting more than 1.5 million pounds of garbage over the years. It has also collected a large social media following, with 30,000 followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
Baltimore's Water Wheel Keeps On Turning, Pulling In Tons Of Trash
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is a city landmark teeming with tourists, restaurants and — until recently — floating trash. Since the water wheel began churning in May, it has removed 40 tons of trash from Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Baltimore wants to make the Inner Harbor clean enough for swimming by 2020.
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
