More Solar Powered Trash and Recycle Bins Appear at EPCOT Ahead of La Poutinery Debut

More solar powered refuse disposal opportunities have appeared at EPCOT just ahead of a new culinary offering near the Canada pavilion in World Showcase.

What's Happening:

• On a recent visit to EPCOT at Walt Disney World, we spotted more of the solar trash cans that have started popping up in World Showcase in recent years.
• Near the Canada pavilion in World Showcase, park guests can now find these solar powered trash cans near the soon-to-be-home of La Poutinery, which is set to open early next month at the park.
• But why does a trash can need to be powered? Well, that's because similar to others we've seen in recent years - these are also automatic trash compactors.
• Previously, we've seen solar powered trash cans/compactors over near the Germany pavilion, which come in handy during the plethora of festivals held annually at the park when this area becomes a hot spot of festival kitchens and live entertainment.

• The new cans also feature the World Showcase logo emblazoned upon their casing, above a special pedal that can be used to open the flaps on either the trash bin, or the recycle bin.
• La Poutinery is set to open next month and the new bins show that EPCOT might be expecting this to be a popular location. The special solar powered bins can compact the refuse frequently enough to allow for more time between Cast Member visits to empty them.
• Future plans for additional solar powered trash and recycle bins are unclear at this time.
