How Mr. Trash Wheel Works!
Meet The Trash Wheels
The Trash Wheels are strategically placed at the end of rivers and outfalls leading to the Harbor to capture the trash coming from the watershed.
They use their googly-eyed personalities to clean the water, educate the public, and provide data to inform trash reduction legislation related to waste reduction. In FY2022, the Mr. Trash Wheel family has expanded to 4 trash wheels, including Professor Trash Wheel, Captain Trash Wheel, and the newest, Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West.
