When the reimagining of Epcot was announced in 2019, it was outlined that the park would be divided into 4 neighborhoods: World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, and World Discovery. Eventually, we saw the first new trash cans aligned with the makeover, the white & blue Epcot logo-branded cans that first appeared outside the Odyssey Pavilion (i.e. "Walt Disney Imagineering presents the Epcot Experience.")
A similar style of recepticles (let's call them Epcot Logo Cans, OK?) recently appeared in the former Future World East area of the park, rebranded as World Discovery - encompassing Mission: SPACE, Test Track, and the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attractions. These cans are also white and Epcot logo-branded, but feature a solid red panel over the sides and top of the can. Have we noticed a theme here?
Jumping back to the 2019 map that originally showcased the new Epcot neighborhoods, we can speculate that Disney may have telegraphed the trash can color schemes for these areas. We've already seen the white/blue cans in the World Celebration area (which includes Odyssey and Spaceship Earth), and now the white/red cans match the red map area shown for World Discovery. How much do you want to bet that the World Nature cans are going to be green? (Note from Editor: Yes, they are green.)
