Want to learn more about Mr. Trash Wheel: www.mrtrashwhe...
Today I'm looking into one of the dirtiest jobs on the bay. If you have ever been around the Chesapeake Bay, near Baltimore city, than you have probably seen Mr. Trash Wheel. Mr. Trash Wheel is a massive machine that sits on the bay, gathers trash out of the water, and then disposes of it into dumpsters. The trash is then burned and used as fuel to power the city of Baltimore. I'm going behind the scenes to see what this machine is all about and how it works.

Luke @fvsoutherngirl did @theoceancleanup get their idea for their Interceptors from these river clean up barges, do you think? Their design is very much like yours.

[@fvsoutherngirl]

They stole the idea and take credit for the design. Mr. Trash wheel is not a big enough operation to fight a huge corporation like ocean clean up. I’m all for anyone cleaning up the ocean but I’m very against big corporations stealing ideas and taking credit for them and profiting.

[@Jeroenscheur92]

Ocean cleanup is a non profit organization, they aren't profiting from what they are doing. If the idea was based on the Mr. Trash Wheel I don't know.

[@reallnow]

@@Jeroenscheur92 keep telling yourself that they aren’t profiting, it must be nice to be so naive and blissfully ignorant!

[@Jeroenscheur92]

@@reallnow its a non profit org, they are not proffiting, they run on donations. They dont charge for what they do.

You are right every city thats located on or near the water should have these . Love your content Luke. Will be buying crabs from you next season. Im in dundalk and live on bear creek.

I've pulled so many tv's and tires out of rivers that it's not funny. yet take them to the landfill and instantly find out why they are dumped because they charge me to dump them when I get them out of a river. It's just sad

[@triplem201]

I love the trash wheels! I didn’t realize how much you’ve helped out with them. Thanks for sharing even more about these incredible creatures. I have sorted his trash but have yet to stop foot on one.

[@allinkedupalways4163]

You are a man of many talents. I can't wait to see what you're going to teach your children one day!

[@johnstickles6789]

I've lived in this state for most of my 59 years and i am so glad to see the state coming together to clean up the mess that the Chesapeake Bay has become. I would love to see more clean up projects on the rivers that feed into the bay. All that trash and tons of chemicals that are dumped and runoff into these rivers and creeks all ends up in the Chesapeake. With the new sewage plant and other projects we can make the Chesapeake a clean and productive waterway once again.

[@papagrim9777]

Happy to see you spread the word about cleaning up our waters. Locally and globally! Thank you for actually putting in the work for it too!

[@johnf5068]

I see Mike Rowe inspire others as much as he inspired me!

[@bjkgaffmaster]

@LukeMcFadden This is a GREAT educational video, probably one of your best ones since you did the old boat in Cape May. A lot of people should watch this and see just how much trash and debris can get into our waterways and pollute our rivers. This wonderful machine SHOULD be part of every medium to large cities garbage and recycle program. $500-700,000 is peanuts compared to some of the money that cities waste on other unnecessary crap and “programs”. The cities and all citizens of the city and surrounding residents would benefit from this type of program. There are hundreds of places that these type of machines could help the environment become cleaner and even make them more usable for people. You might be a good fill in for Mike Rowe and his “Dirt Jobs” show!!

[@fvsoutherngirl]

Thanks for watching! I agree!

[@seanwalsh9605]

The unfortunate, and simultaneously good, part is there are 4 Trash Wheels in the Baltimore Inner Harbor

Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West. The loneliest trash wheel has to be Captain Trash Wheel in Masonville cove. Despite all of the good work by the trash wheels, the bay along with the Patapsco needs more oysters. One adult oyster can filter 50 gallons of water every day. Maybe one day we can find an effective way of dealing with the metals and toxins at the bottom of the rivers and bay.
