This googly-eyed robot has sucked up 4 million pounds of trash from Maryland waterways — see how it works
He's tall, he's incredibly photogenic, he loves the environment, and he definitely isn't a picky eater. Who's this mystery man, you're probably asking? It's Mr. Trash Wheel. This giant, googly-eyed trash-collecting wheel, considered a "semi-autonomous" trash interceptor, was designed to be efficient at removing trash from bodies of water while also being able to withstand powerful storms. Trash interceptors like Mr. Trash Wheel are put at the ends of rivers or streams to collect waste before it makes its way into our oceans.
