A trash can is a container that allows you to throw papers and other waste.
The trash can is the container used to throw useless papers and other waste . This object, which can be found in closed spaces (such as an office or a house) and open spaces (a square, a park), is also known as a basket or trash can .
It is common for trash cans to be located in a discreet but visible place. The idea is that people can find the trash can easily so they don't throw the papers on the floor. Bins are made from plastic, metal, wicker and other materials and usually feature bags that, once filled with trash, are removed and replaced. In this way, the inside of the trash can is clean.
It should be noted that there are different trash can designs. Some have a lid that rotates on a horizontal axis, others have a pedal that allows the lid to be raised and lowered, etc. Some trash cans include an ashtray at the top, with sand to throw cigarettes in safely.
Types of trash can
In addition to all this, it is important to be clear that basically trash cans can be classified into two large groups: indoor ones, which are placed inside any room of a building, and outdoor ones, which, as their name indicates, are located outdoors in any public space.
In this way, within the first classification we would find, in turn, metal mesh wastebaskets , pedal bins, with ashtray and folding bins . For its part, in the group of exterior bins, there are wooden bins , rotating bins, tilting bins or even those that are intended solely and exclusively to house dog excrement.
It is also important that we know that the trash can is an element that has been used at certain times for purposes other than collecting dirt. Thus, for example, there have been terrorist formations that have used it to hide various explosive devices .
The paper industry is dedicated to the production of paper.
The term in computing
Known as the recycle bin , on the other hand, it is the storage area where computer files that are about to be deleted are sent. This function allows the user to recover the file ( “recycle” it) before its final deletion.
It is important to be clear that this virtual trash can only preserve files deleted from the hard drive, and never those that have been deleted and were part of a pendrive or any other type of external memory device. Hence, when the documents that were in this type of systems are deleted, it is done permanently and it is impossible to recover them again.
In addition to all of the above, it is interesting to highlight that on any computer that has any version of Windows as its operating system, the recycle bin icon already appears on the desktop.
Trash as an adjective
As an adjective, papermaking refers to what belongs to or relates to paper, including its manufacturing and marketing .
For example: “My father works in the paper industry” , “Strong controversy over the installation of a paper mill on the Uruguay River: neighbors fear that it will contaminate the waters” .
