garbage pail
Kitchen waste container
A garbage pail is a container for trash, typically a smaller receptacle than a garbage can—often the kind found under a kitchen sink or in a bathroom.
The terms overlap considerably, though pail suggests a vessel with a handle: Take the garbage pail out to the curb.
Garbage Pail Kids were collectible trading cards featuring grotesque parodies of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls.
