The Trash Cans are NOT Black Holes

Post by TiggerHappy » Sun Apr 17, 2011 6:02 am

While bussing, I've seen a handful of Guests try to shove their trash into trashcans that were obviously full. Do they really think that if they keep forcing the trash in, it'll go down somehow? Seriously, there's several other trashcans that are mere steps away but they simply insist on getting their hands more dirty than necessary just so they didn't have to walk any farther.

Just because the trashcans are located in Tomorrowland, that doesn't mean they're connected to black holes. It'd be nice, but no, we have to empty our trashcans regularly and use trash compactors like everyone else in the park. :rolleyes:

Give them some credit. At least they are trying to use a trashcan instead of just leaving their mess on the table.

I've had Guests insist that every single trash can in the park is connected to the HVAC. That would be awesome.

With a packed trashcan, the mess ends up on the floor instead. :\ If it won't go in, it's not going in and I'm still cleaning up after them.

I heard a tale that connecting all the trash cans to the AVAC system was the original idea when they were designing the park. But they figured that occasionally guests would accidentally leave their wallet or some other valuable on their tray so they decided to have regular cans and have AVAC dump stations throughout the park. This way the valuable can be easily recovered instead of virtually unrecoverable. That, and being regular cans allows them to be easily moved and to add/remove cans as needed.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

This has the side effect of SGs being able to move them into the parade route. I bet if they were blackholes however they would not stick their kids on top of them.

I have had guests so convinced of this that I moved a trash can to show them the solid concrete beneath. Even then, they had to tap the area with their foot before deciding, "They must have added this can later."
