Walt Disney’s obsession with cleanliness at the theme park led to an unusual fandom.
Of all the things Disneyland fans are passionate about, one of the most unusual — and strangely most popular — is the trash can. At the Disney theme parks, trash cans are themed to each individual land. In Fantasyland, they have medieval-looking patterns. In Frontierland, they’re painted to look like rough-hewn wood.
1 on Disney+, Disney cast members shed light on how Walt changed trash management as we know it. For the company, as he has famously said, “It all started with a mouse.” For this story, it all started with a hot dog. Ahead of Disneyland’s 1955 opening and in its early days, Walt often stayed overnight in his apartment over the Main Street Fire Station. Early mornings, before anyone else was there, he would walk the park, inspecting it for any areas that needed improvement.
