waste bin

Rubbish goes here

A waste bin is a container for discarding trash or unwanted items—what Americans typically call a garbage can or trash can.

The term is more common in British English.

Office waste bins sit beside desks for paper scraps; kitchen waste bins hold food packaging and other household refuse.

Toss that in the waste bin.
