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. 00:00 Intro 01:04 History of Pneumatic Tubes 02:30 How They Work 05:39 Trash Systems Around The World 06:48 New Tubes In Harlem 08:02 Credits FOR MORE WORLDWIDE WASTE: How Bricks Made From Invasive Seaweed Clean Mexico's Beaches | Insider Business youtu.be/2fXiboAGQvM Cosmetics Packaging Is A Recycling Disaster.
