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 MagicBand readers on all of their garbage cans.
If you want to throw out any trash, you scan your MagicBand. Then, the garbage can will unlock, so you can throw away your trash. It will only be unlocked for 30 seconds. If you don’t get everything in during that time, you will need to pay again.
The $2 will be charged to your My Disney Experience account. 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.
The goal is to get people to consume less, otherwise, they need to pay to throw stuff out. Those who don’t want to pay to use a trashcan must keep their garbage with them for the entire day at the park.
While many people see this as a scam, others think this is a great initiative by Disney. However, many people worry that this will make Disney World dirtier. Disney always has a trashcan within 30 steps of you to keep the parks clean.
However, by forcing people to pay $2 to throw out their trash, it’s expected that there will be garbage littered across the parks. If Disney sees people littering in their park, they will impose a $20 fine on that guest and may ban them for life.
Many people are saying this is worse than Disney charging guests for Wi-Fi, which we reported on here.
