Become A Trash Wheel Family Sponsor
The Trash Wheel family consists of four sustainably powered trash interceptors in Baltimore Harbor. They may be semi-autonomous, but they need a lot of help!
If you or your company are interested in becoming a Trash Wheel Family sponsor, please email us at MrTrashWheel@WaterfrontPartnership.org. Your sponsorship will help remove over 500 tons of trash each year from the Baltimore Harbor and keep the trash wheels churning.
The first trash interceptor of its kind, Mr. Trash Wheel, was invented by environmental scientist and shipbuilder John Kellett and commissioned by the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. It was installed in May 2014 at the mouth of the Jones Falls and is operated by Clearwater Mills LLC.
Today Mr. Trash Wheel and his family of semiautonomous trash interceptors have become social media celebrities and Baltimore landmarks thanks to the help of WPB's Adam Lindquist, who added googly eyes and named the invention to help engage the community. This is just the beginning of the Mr. Trash Wheel saga, discover the full history of Mr. Trash Wheel here!
