In what part of the resort would you find a trash can that looks like this?
Answer:
Trash cans like this can be found on Tom Sawyer Island near Fort Wilderness. I have been told that these are the most expensive trash cans to create in the resort.
Rumor says the island will soon be completely rethemed. This would include tearing down Fort Wilderness and abandoning Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer" character. Instead, it would become Pirate Island, to take advantage of the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies and ride update. This rumor started with an article by Al Lutz on MiceAge.com, but has yet to be confirmed (or denied) by Disney. We'll find out in time whether this turns out to be true or not.
Edited later to add: Of course, this later proved to be true. The island has been renamed Pirate's Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, but the name Tom Sawyer isn't expected to last much longer by many people. The fort was, indeed, torn down shortly after Pirate's Lair opened.

Trash can by the area across from Grizzly River Run in DCA.

I love these pics. However I have no clue as to where this one is, so I'll guess Tom Sawyer Island.
Richard Blythe
Pirates Island.
Keep Tom Sawyer Island the same.
Side note, I remember my wife and I looking at the guns exactly one week before they were removed.
-- I still remember playing in Fort Wilderness as a kid, climbing into the turrets in the corners where those guns were.
