Universal Orlando Resort is introducing the same solar-powered trash cans and recycling bins as Walt Disney World. Disney began installing the bins<\/a> in June and will continue to roll them out across the parks.<\/p>\n

Universal CityWalk Solar-Powered Trash Cans\"Solar-Powered<\/a><\/p>\n

At Universal Orlando Resort, we noticed the bins in CityWalk. They all feature the CityWalk logo on purple decals with neon artwork. This pair of a trash can and recycling bin were on the bridge outside Universal Islands of Adventure.<\/p>\n

\"Solar-Powered<\/a><\/p>\n

The bins have built-in solar panels on their curved tops. These power internal trash compactors. The bins can be opened by hand or with a foot pedal \u2014\u00a0but this has proven confusing for Disney guests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Universal might just need to release their own instructional video<\/a> for how to use the cans. We saw a discarded cup sitting on the ground next to one trash can.<\/p>\n

Most of the new cans are on the bridges connecting CityWalk to Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida.<\/p>\n

How do you feel about the solar-powered trash cans? Let us know on social media.<\/p>\n
