Waste container

A waste container, known as a trash can, garbage can, or wastebasket (most commonly in the Americas); or known as a rubbish bin or dustbin (usually in Commonwealth English); among other names, is a type of container intended to store waste. It is usually made out of metal or plastic. The word bin (and rubbish for its contents) are more common in British English usage; trash and can are more common in American English usage. Garbage may refer to food waste specifically (when distinguished from trash) or to municipal solid waste in general. The word dumpster (from a genericised trademark) refers to a large outdoor waste container for garbage collectors to pick up the contents.
