This is a repost but considering it’s Earth Day, I thought it was appropriate…
Disney parks are known for being very, very clean. It stands to reason considering, Disneyland uses 1,000 brooms, 500 dust pans, and 3,000 mops each year. Approximately 30 tons of trash are collected during a busy park day. That’s a lot of trash! The custodial department collect 12 million pounds of trash each year. Custodial cast members are vital in bringing together the Disneyland show and making the resort the enjoyable family destination that it is.
The Disney company has had environmental campaigns going on within its corporate structure since before green was cool and in light of its long-time efforts has an impressive recycling effort. The Disneyland Resort recycles many items each year, including the following estimated amounts: 4.1 million pounds of cardboard; 1.3 million pounds of green waste; 370,000 pounds of office paper; 361,260 pounds of glass bottles; 274,280 pounds of plastic bottles; and 17,240 pounds of aluminum cans.

You know when I see a custodian I always thank them for doing a thankless job! I am personally so grateful that they are doing it so we don’t have to. Aren’t you?
