The world's plastic pollution crisis, explained
Once in the ocean, it is difficult—if not impossible—to retrieve plastic waste. Mechanical systems, such as Mr. Trash Wheel, a litter interceptor in Maryland’s Baltimore Harbor, can be effective at picking up large pieces of plastic, such as foam cups and food containers, from inland waters.
Googly-Eyed Trash Eaters May Clean a Harbor Near You
The rising star of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, known to locals as Mr. Trash Wheel, is a garbage gobbler with its own social media following. Built with $720,000 in public and private funds, the voracious device once filled 12 Dumpsters with trash in the 48 hours after a particularly heavy storm. Since its debut in 2014, it has pulled in more than a million pounds of trash and debris from the Jones Falls River. Expect that number to rise.
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
