garbage bin
Container for refuse
A garbage bin is a container for waste, typically with a lid, used in homes, offices, and public spaces to collect trash before disposal.
The term is more common in British English and some other varieties, while Americans more often say trash can or garbage can.
Please throw that wrapper in the garbage bin.
