Mr. Trash Wheel celebrates 5th birthday with a beer

Baltimore’s oldest googly-eyed garbage eater celebrated his fifth birthday with a beer last weekend. Mr. Trash Wheel, the floating trash collector that sits adjacent to Pier VI and collects all the junk that flushes out through the Jones Falls River, turned 5 years old in May. The device’s “parent” organization, the Waterfront Partnership, held a celebration at Peabody Heights Brewing in Waverly to celebrate the big day and the growth of the Trash Wheel family.
