Apparently, Walt was obsessed with garbage because theme parks at the time were dirty. He watched people in his park and determined they littered if the garbage can was more than 30 feet away, so he ensured there were garbage cans every thirty feet.
"One thing they don’t mention in the video is that the mission to keep the parks clean is instilled in every single cast member from day one, when they go through their training process. On their first day of employment, cast members go through a 4-hour course called Traditions. It’s essentially an orientation class that all newbies have to go to and is where they learn, among other things, the Disney standards of ethics, safety, and the history of the Walt Disney Company. Part of that is the history of cleanliness at the park (like they discuss in the video above) but also how it’s every cast member’s responsibility to keep the park looking its best. So if you’re in the parks, you’ll see some non-custodial cast members with grabbers so they can pick up trash, or if they’re walking down the street in Frontierland and see the wrapper from the Mickey Pop, they’ll pick it up and throw it in the trash."
