Everyone loves a happy ending, but not everyone gets one. You know what everyone gets? Trash.

While most Disney princesses are lucky enough to find their prince and ride off into the sunset, we decided to make these beauties a little more relatable. You’ve already seen them reimagined as different ethnicities, Medieval warriors, superheroes, slothsMiley Cyrus, and even men—but what’s more universal than the littered remnants of consumerist society that you see on the way to work, or during a stroll through the park?

Check out these amazing transformations as the girls go from the castle to the dumpster.
