NBC 5 is learning the goal is to get the trash cleaning water wheels in the river next summer.
The waterwheel is a floating technology that picks up floating trash, puts it on a conveyor belt inside the craft and then deposits it into a trash bin. It is powered sustainably, primarily by river currents but if the hydropower is not sufficient, the craft can work off of solar power.“We’re very excited to move this project a little further along,” said Cody Whittenburg, acting director of the city of Fort Worth Environmental Services Department.
That same year, TRWD's two Trash Bash volunteer litter clean-up events collected approximately 13,500 pounds of litter and debris from along the banks of the Trinity River. The cleanup events are indicative of the amount of floating trash that flowed downstream.
