Five Minute Histories: Mr. Trash Wheel

Ever wondered to yourself, “What is that googly-eyed contraption at the mouth of the Jones Falls?” Well its Mr. Trash Wheel picking up garbage! Since 2014, this machine has collected a whopping 16 tons of trash out of the water. Please enjoy today’s Five Minute Histories video as we look back at the history of the Jones Falls and look forward to Mr. Trash Wheel. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you later this week with another video.

Just think if sleepy Joe and the folks at the Climate summit this week would think about picking up after ourselves. Then thinking we're going to stop Hurricanes by everyone driving a Tesla! 😕
