“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
In a letter to Holbrook Health Board Chairman Paul Callinan, state Sen. Walter Timilty, D-Milton, and state Rep. William Galvin, D-Canton, said they were strongly opposed to the transfer station.They said it would disrupt transportation patterns in the area and the increased truck traffic would create public safety hazards.The letter also noted the transfer station’s proximity to the Baird McGuire Superfund site.“We stand in firm solidarity with the citizens of the region in opposition to this proposal,” the legislators wrote. “It is our belief that the transfer station will cause more harm than good.”Holbrook officials have supported the transfer station, citing the economic benefits to the town.The health board has until Oct. 26 to reach a decision, but the deadline can be extended.

City’s waterways.The popular concept in Baltimore came from Mr. Trash Wheel in the Inner Harbor and Professor Trash Wheel in Canton.“A lot of impervious surface and all that rushes off the streets and sidewalks and into the harbor and into the Chesapeake Bay,” said Casey Merbler of the Waterfront Partnership.“The marina has water collecting between boats and marina slips and they should see an immediate reduction in trash,” said Adam Lindquist of the Waterfront Partnership.Combined, the two machines have swallowed more than 1.3 million pounds of trash and it was only a matter of time before the idea flowed south.Over the past several decades the Maryland Port Administration has made significant improvements to clean up the area, the trash wheel is another tool to continue their initiative.“Been doing environmental efforts and improvements since it purchased the property collected over 60,000 tons of trash,” Bottalico said.The trash wheel will help maintain the flourishing educational site and will be constructed by the Pasadena based company Clearwater Mills who also created and built the current wheels.It doesn’t have a name yet, but it will look similar to cousins Mr. Trash and Professor Trash Wheels.The Masonville Cove Trash Wheel will be operating by February of next year.The third trash wheel will be installed in the Port Covington area by the end of this year.Follow @CBSBaltimore on Twitter and like WJZ-TV CBS Baltimore on Facebook...

December by Professor Trash Wheel, a female companion who resides in Canton, who has collected more than 16,000 pounds of trash.The Waterfront Partnership is planning for a third trash wheel to be located in Gwynns Falls into the Patapsco River's Middle Branch.But it’s safe to say Mr. Trash Wheel’s successors have a lot of catching up to do. At just 3 years old, Mr. Trash Wheel has reached a celebrity status of sorts. He’s already got his own beer.bbritto@baltsun.comtwitter.com/brittanybrittoBEST OF BALTIMORE INSIDERHold up, 'Hon': Baltimore's black vernacular youthful, dynamic if less recognized than 'Bawlmerese''Real Housewives of Potomac' preview: Gizelle Bryant, Robyn Dixon talk Season 2 dramaDriver catches a typo on I-95 sign that had gone unnoticed for months...
