The Trash Cans of Disney World [Video]

Steve Tanner is a scholar who has, for fifteen years, been exhaustively studying the trash cans available to guests at Disney resorts and parks around the world. His site dubbed Magical Trash examines how Disney’s park designers choose trash cans to convey specific messages (aside from putting your trash into them) or accept merely practical goals of waste management.

Above are trash and recycling bins at the DreamWorks Land district of Universal Studios Florida. Shrek, Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda are the core franchises featured and the bins are appropriately decorated with motifs for those intellectual properties. No detail is too small to deserve attention.
