The rising star of Baltimore's Inner Hafbor. 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 f i I led J-2 Dunirs 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.
