Trash and recycling cans have arrived at Universal Kids Resort, which according to theme park math means we’re “very close.”

The open-topped trash can in front of City Hall was gone by December 26, 1955, as seen in this shot from the Park's first holiday season.

Juxtaposition of the open-topped trash can in front of City Hall with the more familiar style in the foreground, attributed to 1955 (although without more specificity).

Yes, but there were some of the 1955/1957-1985 Main Street, U.S.A. trash cans there on Opening Day.

Here's a Keystone Cop protecting one on July 17, 1955.

In this early Disneyland photo, City Hall is accompanied by a plainly labeled "Waste" can, long before the park's signature themed cans arrived.

ALT A black‑and‑white photo of Disneyland’s City Hall shows a large Victorian-style building with brick walls, arched windows, and a central tower. Several people stand and walk in front of the entrance, which is shaded by an upper balcony supported by decorative columns. A simple rectangular trash can labeled “WASTE” sits near the sidewalk in the foreground.

Walkway Pattern Installations Continue at Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT
<p>In December 2025, we reported new sidewalk patterns delineating the line between the Mexico and Norway Pavilions in EPCOT. Now we spotted a new one on the other side of the Mexico Pavilion.

A thatched-roof shop at Shanghai Disneyland called “Laughing Monkey Traders” sits in a rustic, jungle‑themed area. The entrance sign hangs over a shaded doorway, with bamboo and wood elements forming the building’s exterior. To the right of the shop, two bright red trash cans stand beside a wooden fence and dense green foliage. A few guests are partially visible near the edges of the frame.

Peach-toned text box beneath a disclaimer reading “Copilot may make mistakes.” The centered question asks: “What are some good ‘wintery’ movies to watch while taking down the Christmas tree?” The layout suggests a seasonal prompt for cozy, thematic movie recommendations.

Pink ladybug-themed trash can with cartoon eyes and black spots, set outdoors amid green foliage. The lid reads “PUSH,” inviting playful interaction while promoting cleanliness in a garden or park setting.

When I visited for the first time last year, I walked around quite a bit at the station, very confused. Took a while to navigate, so this is a nice improvement.

Ever better if you watch with the laugh track turned off. The writing really shines through.

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.

i cannot tell you how often i think back to MASH when writing. that ability to walk the line between humor and the darkest of humanity, yet never truly cross over into making light of it OR hopelessness--even though it toys with those things, too--is the line i strive for

Reality check: Five lands. One vibe: Default.

Keep sweating, Josh.

Photo collage showing the 5 primary trash can styles across different themed lands in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida. Each can is plain and utilitarian, with minimal design—mostly solid colors like gray, brown, teal, and orange, featuring simple recycle logos. The cans lack distinctive theming or decorative details that traditionally matched each land’s aesthetic, highlighting a shift toward generic, standardized designs.

Brown is not a theme.

When the Enchanted Forest opened in MK's New Fantasyland, trash cans mattered: stripes for Storybook Circus, faux wood for the forest.

Today? Brown boxes with a recycling logo.

If theming is storytelling, this chapter reads: “We stopped trying.”

Image features two types of trash cans. The left bin has a wooden texture design, while the right bin is marked for recycling with a recycle symbol. Both bins are situated in an outdoor setting, surrounded by plants and structures.

I saw the new pavers that they're installing in World Showcase, and while nice, they are not nearly as visible or interacted with as often as the trash/recycling cans. You're right, it certainly gives the visual language of giving up.
