collection bin
Public drop-off box
A collection bin is a container designated for depositing specific items—recyclables, donations, or other materials meant for sorting or redistribution.
Drop your old clothes in the collection bin outside the grocery store.
The term implies organized gathering rather than disposal, distinguishing it from a trash bin.
