Container for garbage
A rubbish bin is a container for waste, the British equivalent of American trash can or garbage can.
The term applies to bins inside homes, in public spaces, or outdoors: Toss that wrapper in the rubbish bin.
In computing contexts, the rubbish bin (or recycle bin) holds deleted files before permanent removal.
