Waste container

A waste container, also known as a dustbin, rubbish bin, trash can, garbage can, wastepaper basket, and wastebasket, among other names, is a type of container intended to store waste. It is usually made out of metal or plastic. The words rubbish, basket and bin 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.
