curbside bin

Roadside trash receptacle

A curbside bin is a container placed at the edge of a property for waste collection.

Households put out curbside bins on designated days for garbage trucks to empty.

The term typically refers to wheeled plastic containers provided by municipalities: Put the curbside bin out tonight—pickup is tomorrow morning.
