omg i love the talking Rubbish Bins! (im english i don't say trash :lol: )

does anyone know if there in all the parks, and if they are here to stay??

the best one was at MIckey's not-so-scary halloween party and the bin was following people and commenting on their costumes, funny :D

They are usually called "PUSH" because they are the only trash cans with the word PUSH written on them. I know they are in both WDW and DLR but I don't know about the others. It's a great idea, and my brother and I were going to buy a surplus tomorrowland can and turn it into one of our own. We lost the auction so now we are searching for another one.

Where were you bidding on one? I'd love to get one even just for an actual trash can (but the making it into a personal Push is cooler).

And I do have to say that Push is really great, and as far as I know, he will be around the parks for quite some time. They even have a character in VMK based on him.

I haven't actually encountered push in the park, but I have seen video on visionsfantastic.com and it was very funny.

I know they have Push at the Magic Kingdom, and a Talking Palm tree in Animal Kingdom. I'm not sure if they have something similar in MGM and Epcot.

They have talking trash cans in EPCOT and they also have talking water fountains

Anyone have a link that shows/talks about these cans and things? I've never heard of it. I'm having a little trouble trying to picture exactly what these things do. You say they talk...do the openings move? or is it just a speaker? Someone said that some trashcans walk...how do they keep from bumping into things? What do they say?

Most importantly...can you still throw things away in these cans?

I don't have a link to pictures of the cans, but I have seen them several times. So far as I can tell, there is a speaker inside the Push can. Someone must be nearby (or above?) controlling, because Push talks directly to people. Yes, you can still throw garbage in, but you're sure to get some sort of sarcastic comment!

right now they have a door from POTC and a car from the snow white ride. I would love to have some of the stuff they have on there. My brother bought a couple of things from their ebay auctions a while ago and the stuff is all directly from the parks.

Does Mousesurplus have a deal with WDW where tehy get that stuff? They should get a 20,000 Leagues sub, I bet they could get a fortune for one of those.......

I believe there's a talking phone at Epcot somewhere. I found a recording of it which I put into the lot to be added.

I'm very intrigued about the talking palm trees and fountains at other parks. I've only encountered Push. But then again, I live on the West Coast and only visit WDW about every other year.

I ran into Push last year in WDW at MK near the restrooms in Tomorrow Land. It was so cute, he kept running after this little boy above 5 years old asking him for lunch. The little boy finally asked him what he wanted for lunch and Push replied a "Dirty Diaper" All the little ones were laughing so hard. It was really cute! Typical 5 year old humor.
