sorting bin
Categorization holding vessel
A sorting bin is a container used to separate items into categories.
Recycling programs use sorting bins for different materials—paper, plastic, glass.
Warehouses use them to organize inventory by type or destination.
The term emphasizes the bin's function in classification rather than mere storage: Toss the defective parts in the sorting bin.
