Milwaukee’s Harbor District has won a nearly $500,000 grant from the EPA as part of the Trash Free Waters program. The Harbor District’s Aaron Zeleske tells WTMJ the money will be used for a trash wheel, which has the potential to pull out tons of garbage from the Kinnickinnic River.
Zelesky says the solar powered trash wheel could be up and running by spring of 2022 if they’re able to raise the rest of the money needed.
