And there isa lotof scraps to nosh on in Baltimore ’s Inner Harbor .
Since coming to life story in 2014 , Mr. Wheel has absent over 1 million pound of trash — including 8.9 million coffin nail butts , 464,947 Styrofoam containers , 346,149 chip bags , 372,650 credit card bottles and 257,337 market cup of tea — from the harbour .
Complete with jumbo centre , he is powered by the river ’s current ( or solar panel when the water is still ) .
The strength of the current lifts the rubbish and wedge it into Mr. Trash Wheel ’s dumpster mouth — the same way of life most of us eat Zea mays everta when no one is watching :
All of the ice accumulate is then incinerated , generate force for some Maryland homes .
The company that create the bicycle is currently fundraising so Mr. Trash Wheel can have a companion . It ’s not having too much bother come up with the funds , specially since the original has become something of a local renown .
Along with his bottleful - munch responsibility , Mr. Trash Wheel enjoys making t - shirts with his expression on it , play with his pet snake ( yes , he has a favourite serpent named Bindi ) , make his very ownbeerbrand , and photoshopping himself into famous film :
