Who cares the planet is dying anyway, why not just enjoy it and live a free life without the worry of poxy recycling. just bin it all, then burn it down, simple, out the way.

well according to a friend who works at Disneyland, they recycle in the back, just like Disneyworld. I hope whoever has to recycle gets a mask. yuck!

we spent 10 days in Florida visiting Disney, Universal, Cocoa Beach, Tampa and Kennedy Space Center. We have seen ZERO recycling receptacles in any of these places. (We recycle a lot in Ontario so trust us, we were looking). These places receives millions of people and the thought of millions of recyclable materials (plastic water bottles especially) being thrown away as garbage bothered us so much. We really, really hope that they recycle (in the background) as Joe Shelby posted. We are altogether killing this planet. Every little bit of help counts.

I’ve never been to Tokyo Disney or Disneyland Paris but if they have separate recycling bins there, you might be on to something DBlock!

Sorting the trash without mention or encouragement seems to be counter intuitive. Disney World, in particular EPCOT, is about dreams, children and the future.

Why would Disney abandoned this fundamental concept when it comes to recycling and write it off as “People are stupid and they can’t get the plates in the right bin anyway.”?

Actually, according to the backstage tour I took in May, Disney does EXACTLY THAT. They do go through every bit of trash and pull out as much recyclable material as they can. They decided not to bother with separate recycling bins because they often get ignored or trash gets put in them and they need sorting anyways.

So no, it doesn’t give the impression that they recycle, but they do. The alternative would have been to have had their dedicated landfill filled up over 10 years ago.
