The new solar-powered trash cans continue to make their way around World Showcase at EPCOT, now arriving at the Morocco Pavilion.
Solar-Powered Trash Cans

During our visit today, July 13, we spotted several of the new solar-powered trash cans throughout the Morocco Pavilion area. The two shown above include both a trash and recycling bin.
Until now, we’ve also seen them in other spots like the Mexico and American Adventure pavilions as well as Refreshment Outpost and the Germany Pavilion, among others.

Like the versions previously installed around EPCOT, these bins have glossy solar panels built into the curved top. A small green light is visible on the front of one unit, and each bin has a foot pedal near the base. Guests use the pedal to open the disposal slot, rather than lifting the lid by hand.
The front of each unit also features a black handle panel. As seen with the EPCOT installations, these handles are for Cast Members to access the bins for emptying, not for guests to use.
Disney has confirmed that the solar-powered trash cans will continue to expand across Walt Disney World, with Walt Disney Imagineering involved in the theming and design so the units would resemble the cans they replace.
What do you think of these bins? Let us know on social media.
