Disney World Replaces Iconic Trash Cans, Fans React

At Disney World, a shift in trash can design has caught the attention of fans. Known for their flat-topped design, these receptacles have become more than just waste containers. They’ve inspired merchandise and served as makeshift tables during visits. However, Disney is introducing new trash cans at its four theme parks and two water parks this summer.

Skip Sher, a dedicated Disney enthusiast, recalls a time in late 2021 when he and fellow fans gathered for a day of drinks at Epcot, one of Disney’s theme parks near Orlando, Florida. Their meeting spot: a beloved trash can outside the United Kingdom Pavilion’s pub. This spot offered a memorable meeting place, and the group agreed to return.
