The recent rehab of Walt Disney World’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad brought some changes to the queue, including the shift of color on the trash cans.
While it’s subtle, the cans used to be a glossy brown color; now they have a dull, flat brown finish.

Despite being newer than Disneyland, it’s often hard to find detailed photographs of certain areas from Walt Disney World’s first year, having opened in October 1971.
Thanks to FoxxFur’s latest article on Passport to Dreams Old & New, we now know what the trash cans looked like around Liberty Square, sourced from photos taken in November 1971.
Here you can see cream-colored cans with tan vertical stripes anchoring both sides of the bridge leading into the land. Very traditional look.

Disneyland Paris’ Main Street USA now features trash cans that have companion recycling cans side-by-side. We first saw these appear at Walt Disney Studios and then Disney Village. It’s nice to see them in the flagship park as well!

This logo historically is portrayed in orange.
