The Super Bowl may be over, but the love of sports continues all year long… especially if you are a trash can on Disney property.

Opened with the park in April 1998, Animal Kingdom’s 'Countdown to Extinction'—later rebranded as 'Dinosaur' in a half‑hearted movie tie‑in—reminds us to explore, excavate, and exalt notable trash cans long after their era has ended.

27 years later, 'Dinosaur' itself went extinct in February 2026.

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.

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.

Reality check: Five lands. One vibe: Default.

Keep sweating, Josh.

Photo collage showing six trash cans 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.

Back when the Enchanted Forest debuted in Magic Kingdom’s New Fantasyland, even trash cans told a story: stripes for Storybook Circus, faux wood wraps for the forest.

Today? Brown boxes. No texture, no charm, just catalog stock.

Bring back the planks.

Disneyland Paris’ Main Street U.S.A. trash cans, resting low like flags at half mast—an imagined gesture of respect for Eddie Soto’s enduring creative influence. https://progresscityusa.com/2025/12/18/remembering-eddie-sotto-1958-2025/
Two green, rectangular trash cans from Disneyland Paris’ Main Street U.S.A. lie on their sides on a paved walkway, positioned near the curb of a brick street. Their ornate gold trim and classic design evoke the turn-of-the-century theme of the land. In the background, guests walk near manicured topiary trees and the pink towers of Sleeping Beauty Castle under a gray, overcast sky. The cans were lowered for storm preparation, but in this image they resemble flags at half mast—an imagined, symbolic nod to Eddie Soto’s creative influence on this area.

"The snoap is falling and friends are calling 'Yoo hoo!'"

Nothing says "Florida Christmas" quite like fake snow and a pair of trash cans. The fake flakes drifting past these Disney Springs trash cans in 2018 are snoap, a portmanteau of snow and soap, created by Zigmont Magic FX Inc.

The process is simple: foam forced through a filter forms bubble clusters that look wintry until they vanish, dry and harmless, in under two minutes.

Even in a manufactured wonderland, someone still has to take out the trash.

Two metal trash cans stand side by side in front of a wooden fence at Disney Springs. The left can is labeled “Bottles and Cans Only” with a recycling symbol, while the right can is plain. Above them, a round festive sign reads “Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail” with candy cane accents and greenery. Small white foam specks, resembling snow, are scattered on the fence, part of the park’s artificial “snoap” effect.
