Documenting the trash cans of Disney theme parks & resorts around the world - from the past to the present.

It’s #UnMagical, but a friend sent me this funky trash can shot from Philly.

Spotted any interesting refuse receptacles lately? 🗑️📷

Every can needs a tram.

The beloved Electric Umbrella talking can, now located at the Odyssey Pavilion, has been rebranded as an "Official Muppet Labs Trash Can" for the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. Same classic audio track remains. #TrashCanTuesday

An elegant cream-colored trash can for an elegant ice cream establishment!

This Plaza Ice Cream Parlor trash can features a subtle arched design, with elements at the bottom almost hinting at facial expressions. Maybe a reflection of the hand-scooped ice cream goodness?

Olaf’s Snow Fest, a 2015 temporary attraction at DCA, featured meet & greets, food, entertainment, shopping, and sledding on real snow. Introduced the first 'Frozen'-themed trash cans, predating themed lands at Disney parks worldwide.

Disneyland's Carnation Plaza Gardens (1956-2012) was known for its live entertainment, quick food options, and distinctive red and white striped trash cans, before being replaced by Fantasyland's Fantasy Faire area in 2013. #TrashCanTuesday

Inside Paris’ Hotel Cheyenne, a stylish trash can sits next to a decorative fireplace. One interesting detail… a 5-pointed star logo on the top!

Disney’s Doorway to Dreams was a Disney Vacation Club regional sales center at Woodfield Mall outside of Chicago (2007-12). Mall trash cans count, right?

The beauty of Main Street's party lighting back in 2009. We see trash cans, carefully lined up in orderly rows, showcasing their branded plaques (RIP). How many can you count?

Enchantment abounds throughout the Magic Kingdom in 1978, yet Eeyore finds himself at home with the trash.

It's commendable to highlight examples of quality work, even when "unmagical." DreamWorks Land at Universal Studios Florida is such a case.

Instead of a sticker on a generic can, these open-top units feature carvings of Shrek, Trolls, & Kung Fu Panda characters.

Often the level of attention devoted to something as insignificant as trash cans speaks volumes about priorities. Universal's effort is noted.
