I'm not familiar with any turkey-oriented trash cans in the global Disney theme park empire, but we do have brown ones. #HappyThanksgiving, U.S. friends!

Thanks to trash can weirdos like you, I’ve got a decent archive of #MagicalTrash pics to keep sharing.

Lately, I’m trying something low-tech: logging new submissions in a @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social notebook. Easier to glance at the queue, jot details, and it’s just fun to flip through. 🗑️😀

Forget stormtroopers—Discoveryland's trash sentinels form a blockade, guarding the May the 4th stage with quiet authority. Their mission is clear: this is not the way.

@nathanhartman.net Enjoying the Christmas collections you put together in your pre-YouTube days. I still love the custom album art on these older format ones. Still very sharp!

I downloaded everything at the time, but wonder if you ever made any custom art for non-US parks beyond Tokyo?

Figment’s trash can pin is a pleasant nod to classic Epcot: orange “PUSH” flap, lavender and pink panels, purple trim, silver rivets.

That said, which iteration of Figment’s ride had you questioning your life choices?

Disney pin shaped like a park trash bin, themed after Figment from Epcot. The top flap is bright orange with “PUSH” in block letters. Below, alternating lavender and pink panels framed by purple sides with silver rivets complete the design.

As Disneyland turns 70 in 2025, another icon celebrates 75: Charles M. Schulz's #Peanuts.

What better way to honor the milestone than a trip to #CampSnoopy at Knott’s Berry Farm... and a glimpse of some #UnMagical trash!

Castaway Cay proves even paradise needs trash cans. Disney went practical: off-the-shelf bins in faux-wood enclosures. Durable, weathered, and… apparently a shelf for lazy clutter. Clever or clunky?

A three-bin waste station on a sandy beach at Castaway Cay. The bins are enclosed in blue faux-wood panels with brown corner posts and a slanted top cover. Each bin has a labeled slot: recycling on the left, compost in the center, and trash on the right. Palm trees and colorful beach umbrellas are visible in the background, with bright sunlight casting shadows on the sand. A two-bin waste station on a paved walkway at Castaway Cay. The bins are enclosed in the same blue faux-wood panels with brown posts and a slanted top cover. The left bin is labeled for recycling, and the right for trash. Several plastic cups and napkins are resting on the top surface. Behind the station is a rope fence, green foliage, and a glimpse of palm trees and distant beach structures.

At first glance, these Grizzly Gulch cans look identical. Same green, same badge. But sun & time have worked on the recycling bin, leaving two designs that started as twins but now estranged.
