linen basket

Dirty clothes container

A linen basket is a container for storing or transporting household linens—towels, sheets, tablecloths.

In practice, it often serves the same function as a laundry basket, holding clothes awaiting washing: Toss your dirty socks in the linen basket.

The term is more common in British than American English.
