These two cans pictured below perfectly fit into their respective themes. The can on the left can be found in Fantasyland near the castle and the extra turret lid helps give that regal princess feel that matches with the carousel and other attractions in that area.
It even abandons the smooth appearance, and instead has a rough and bumpy texture to make it look even more aged. Sometimes you might see a pin trading can out and about. A pin trading can is used as a base for displaying pins that guests can trade with. Bubble cans that blow bubbles at passing guests can sometimes be seen in the parks as well.
PUSH the talking trash can used to roam around the parks and interact with guests. He was a walking, well, rolling talking trash can that was pretty cool.
Unfortunately, both PUSH and Pipa are off collecting trash elsewhere these days, but they were just another fun way that Disney used trash cans. Disney must have realized the popularity of their trash cans as there now seems to be quite a lot of trash can-related merchandise that you can purchase in the parks — music to my ears.
I now have trash can highlighters, a trash can Christmas ornament, a model trash can which I built from a kit, and of course, trash can salt and pepper shakers — a necessity for any enthusiast. He's the author of the Disney Demystified and Behind the Ride book series. Okay, that was actually a very interesting and informative read! And the Disney Dan trash can video was delightful.
Thanks for this deep dive into Disney's garbage-- I hope they keep striving to keep pollution to a minimum. Our theme park guides contain reviews and ratings of rides, restaurants and hotels at more than 80 theme parks worldwide. Thursday, April 26, - Walt Disney cared about garbage Image: Disney Back in the days before big data, Walt Disney embarked on something that no one had ever tried before.

The phones use GPS to show their location and throughout the day when a trash can becomes full or a bathroom gets dirty the closest cast member will receive a text message telling them where and what needs to be cleaned.
One of my favorite things about Disney World is their attention to detail…even when it comes to trash. What am I talking about? Some are simple in their differences, while others are unique in their designs. Here are some of my favorite ones. The best ones are at Toy Story Land. Another cute trashcan and yes, I said cute can be found at Storybook Circus in Fantasyland. The trashcan is decorated with red and white stripes to match the circus tent! This trashcan is in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom.
These trashcans are found in the new section of Fantasyland. They run at horsepower each. Every 20 minutes they vacuum the trash through the tubes, and it flies under your feet at 35 mph. That is some quick-moving garbage! Who is taking care of all this trash? In , these vehicles made an average of pick-ups per day. Keep in mind these are full-size garbage trucks that would be full each pick-up. Walt Disney World trash cans have become such a crucial part of the Disney experience, that they even sell merchandise designed around them.
But how did this come to be? Walt himself wanted to make sure the park was clean and tidy — far different from an ordinary carnival or amusement park. This is also why gum is not available for purchase anywhere on Disney property.
Even the gas stations. Typical trash cans at the time were simple round, open receptacles that led to foul odor and trash spilling out. Walt came up with a solution — one almost everyone uses today — the covered bin with a swinging lid. This would contain the trash out of sight, and control the smell. Disneyland was the first place to use such trashcans, but Walt never patented the idea because other manufacturers told him they were useless.
Additionally, the colored trashcans are themed appropriately to the area of the park they are in. They are part of the decor and actually FUN to look at.
