The trash wheel, which collects garbage and debris that dumps into the harbor at the Jones Falls outfall, moves it onto a conveyor belt and into dumpsters that a barge later carries away. Those dumpsters full of trash never make it into the Inner Harbor and the Bay.
In the Guinness World Records 2020 Edition, Mr. Trash Wheel (popular for its big, googly eyes) set the record for “Most Floating Debris Removed by a Trash Interceptor in One Month.” The trash wheel accomplished the feat by pulling 63.3 tons of debris from the mouth of the Jones Falls during the month of April in 2017.

Look at all that garbage, just from the Jones Falls. Imagine how much more comes from the rest of the Patapsco, Curtis Creek & Back River, Susquehanna, etc.
I thought that chicken poop was destroying the bay???
Maybe we need a Mr. Chicken Sh*t wheel
Send that thing to the State House.
Don't make it to flashy. Jake Day will want one. We know he's attracted to anything shinny or sparkly.
I used to have to park my car in the 80s at Federal Hill and walk through the inner harbor early Monday morning. I would leave Friday and see the billboards for upcoming weekend events like Greek or Italian & German Festivals. I will never forget they had an African festival one weekend and when I walked through Monday morning the trash and debris was ankle deep and in the bay --it was disgusting ! So I can believe this story
Need one in the wicomico.
The City had a machine like this I rember Howard with the city running it . It takes work to do this. I never new what happened to it

Ghetto'bury already had one and da Mare gave it away. Can't remember if it was DingleBarrie or Jimbeau who gave it away.
I certainly hope they don't think that is something to be proud of.
