trash can
Receptacle for refuse
A trash can is a container for waste, typically a bin with a lid found in homes, offices, or public spaces.
Americans say trash can; British English prefers rubbish bin or dustbin.
In computing, the trash can (or just trash) is where deleted files go before permanent removal.
Toss that in the trash can.
