How Disney's Magical Trash Tubes Ended Up In New York City | World Wide Waste | Insider Business

At Disney World, the Magic Kingdom uses a system of pneumatic tubes to keep trash out of sight for park visitors. While this was supposed to be the future of waste disposal, only one other place in the US uses something like it on a similar scale: Roosevelt Island in New York City.

Correction: July 27, 2023— Due to an error from a source, an earlier version of this video misstated the amount of trash handled per day by the Magic Kingdom’s AVAC system. The correct figure is 15,000 pounds, not tons.
