New CFTOD trash and recycling cans have been added to the Orange parking garage at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World. These new white trash cans each have a sticker with a black version of the CFTOD logo.

Two gray Reedy Creek trash bins, overseen by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, are placed against a tiled wall; one has a rectangular opening on the left and the other features a circular opening on the right.

While new trash cans were added to the second floor of the Orange parking garage, we noticed that the old Reedy Creek Improvement District (RCID) trash cans were still present on the first floor. These gray trash cans feature the old RCID logo, though many of the logos are fading or incomplete after years of wear and tear.

It’s just a matter of time before trash cans depicting the logo of the new State-run governing body that replaced the RCID are installed around the rest of Disney Springs.

These trash cans appeared after the lengthy legal battle between CFTOD and The Walt Disney Company finally ended. On May 1, 2023, Governor Ron Desantis and the CFTOD filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney World regarding their development agreement with the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Hearing dates were set but were continuously delayed until the two parties reached a settlement on March 27, 2024.

On June 12, 2024, the CFTOD gave final approval to a development agreement that requires Disney to invest $17 billion in Florida over the next 10-20 years. The company must spend a minimum of $8 billion in the next decade. The agreement also allows for a fifth gate at Walt Disney World. The day after the final agreement, Disney officially dropped their lawsuit against Governor Desantis.

Disney has yet to release any specific information about what will be done with the $17 billion over the next 20 years.
