Disney’s new trash cans cause a stir ahead of Epcot Food & Wine Festival
- Disney World is rolling out high-tech, solar-powered trash cans that automatically compact garbage to make waste management more efficient for park staff.
- The new trash cans feature taller bodies, covered openings, and sloped or curved tops that maintain themed designs for specific park areas.
- Parkgoers are voicing disappointment over the sloped tops, which prevent guests from using the bins as makeshift dining tables during Epcot events.
- Using trash cans as informal tables had become a well-known park culture tradition, even spurring merchandise like custom tablecloths sized for the old flat-topped bins.
- As Epcot prepares for its Food & Wine Festival from August 27 through November 21, park visitors are calling on Disney to install more outdoor tables and seating.
