wheelie bins

Curbside trash receptacles

Wheelie bins are large plastic garbage containers on wheels, designed to be rolled to the curb for collection.

The term is primarily British; Americans typically say trash cans or garbage cans regardless of whether wheels are present.

Put the wheelie bin out on Thursday night.
