Maybe one day, you will find a life in one of those trash cans.

Perhaps yours? Stay classy :)

23 years ago today — on May 1, 1989 — the Disney-MGM Studios opened.

Boy, was that ever a badly-executed idea!  Let me know when Disney figures out what they actually want to do with that hodgepodge of a park.

On the plus side, we did get some nice looking trash cans!

The Orange Bird perches on top of an Adventureland trash can while hanging out in the Sunshine Tree Terrace.

Welcome back, Orange Bird!

Just for fun, hop over to Widen Your World’s historical page on the Orange Bird… and take a look at how WDW’s Adventureland trash cans were so much more awesome than today.  I mean, seriously, teal blue is considered “adventurous” these days?

It’s 1958, and after just catching a show at the Mickey Mouse Club Theater, you wander over to this Fantasyland Souvenir Booth to do some shopping.

But low and behold, a green trash can attracts your eye!  How many can you spot in this photo?

We recently asked for suggestions for Earth Day-related trash cans via the Magical Trash Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook networks.  Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, which included Conservation Station at Animal Kingdom and The Land at Epcot.

In celebration of Earth Day, we’re featuring this great recycling can found  at the BoardWalk Villas, where Jiminy Cricket wants YOU to recycle!

Any suggestions on what Disney trash can is ideal to showcase on Earth Day?

With the celebrated return of the Orange Bird to Walt Disney World this week, it’s time to pay tribute to the triumphant battles he’s had over the years.

One of those, believe it or not, involved a trash can, as illustrated on the 1971 story album!

Aunty’s Beach House is a kids play area at Aulani.  This “Mom’s Diner” trash can is found inside.  Not exactly standard Disney theming, but fun nevertheless.
