You now need to pay to use trashcans at Disney World. It will cost you $2 to use a Disney trashcan to throw out your trash. To enforce this, Disney has installed credit card readers on all of their garbage cans.
If you want to throw out any trash, you scan your card. Then, the garbage can will unlock for 30 seconds, so you can throw away your trash. If you don’t get everything in during that time, you will need to pay again.
Littering in the park will incur a $20 fine and the guest may receive a lifetime ban.
This is an effort by Disney to be more environmentally conscious. By forcing guests to pay to use trashcans, it encourages them to think about their consumption. |
