Installed in 2016, Professor Trash Wheel is part of Baltimore's initiative to clean up the Inner Harbor and is the first trash wheel to be given a female persona.
On average, Professor Trash Wheel removes over 200 tons of trash from the Jones Falls River each year, contributing significantly to the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
The wheel is powered by a combination of solar panels and the river's current, making it an environmentally friendly solution to pollution.
Among the usual debris, the wheel has collected items like a guitar, a keg, and even a ball python, showcasing the variety of waste that ends up in the waterways.
Beyond cleaning, Professor Trash Wheel serves as an educational tool, raising awareness about pollution and inspiring community involvement in environmental conservation.
