The auction, scheduled to be held on August 15th and 16th in Sherman Oaks, California, is focused on vintage Disneyland items, but also will contain many memorabilia from Walt Disney World. The trash can is a full size can from the Polynesian and the auction company expects it will bring between $2,000 and $3,000.
The auction will also have up for purchase an original sign from Disneyland’s Don DeFore’s Silver Banjo Barbeque. The Barbeque is an opening day restaurant at Disneyland in California. The sign is expected to bring between $60,000 and $80,000 at auction.
