bin
Where trash goes
A bin is a container for storage or disposal—a trash bin, recycling bin, bread bin.
In British English, bin is the standard word for what Americans call a garbage can or wastebasket.
To bin something is to throw it away: Just bin those old magazines.
In computing, a bin folder holds executable files.
