Mr. Trash Wheel Dumpster Dive 2025! Results are in! Dozens of volunteers hand sorted and counted common litter found in streams and outfalls around Baltimore Harbor. We found nearly 2,000 beverage containers that would be covered by a bottle bill if the Maryland General Assembly passes the Recycling Refund and Litter Reduction Legislation (a “bottle bill”).

The latest data from the 2024 Dumpster Dive reaffirms the effectiveness of policy in our mission to tackle litter. We're seeing a steady decline in the presence of plastic bags and polystyrene pieces in Professor Trash Wheel's dumpster after bans went into effect!

What does Baltimore City, Maryland’s charming local breweries, trash and litter policy, a cleanup, and healthy communities have in common? Cheers to Clean Water 2023! With statewide momentum building, this year we are focusing on plastic bags and plastic bottles.

Over 200 Volunteers showed up to the Volunteering Untapped Baltimore and Baltimore Waterfront Partnership Annual Dumpster Dive! The focus, trash data!

Spring is near and we cannot wait for the cleanups to begin! If you are hosting a cleanup or are attending one we encourage you to checkout the best way to collect trash data to help influence trash and pollution policies!
