ash can
Curbside refuse container
An ash can is a metal container for ashes and other refuse, especially from coal-burning stoves or fireplaces.
The term is old-fashioned, largely replaced by trash can or garbage can as coal heating disappeared from daily life.
In military slang, ash can refers to a depth charge, from its cylindrical shape.
