trash cans
Curbside refuse holders
Trash cans are containers for refuse, typically with a lid and found in kitchens, offices, or along streets.
The British equivalent is dustbin or rubbish bin.
Figuratively, something headed for the trash can is being discarded: That proposal belongs in the trash can.
Also written as one word: trashcans.
