"The Water Wheel Powered Trash Interceptor is a significant innovative advancement in technology. It collects the trash that washes into storm water systems and then discharges from storm outlets and streams into harbors and bays.  Instead of skimmer boats or netting, the spinning water wheel, powered by the stream current continously collects floating trash and debris into a hidden dumpster.  It all but eliminates the unsightly view behind the more traditional boom across a stream outlet.  The sturdy marine construction can withstand the considerable variation in stream flow and flood water in outfalls and streams.  AND, it's aesthetically attractive, catches the eye - a great conversation piece for viewers to be education on why people should NOT be litterbugs on our City streets."
