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]]" refers to a large outdoor waste container for garbage collectors to pick up the contents.==Designs==[[File:Brabantia_Pedal_Bin_Decor_Bayon_1972.JPG|thumb|A pedal bin of 1972]][[File:2020-04-04 10.59.40 화장실 자동 개폐식 쓰레기통.webm|thumb|Automated waste container in [[South Korea]]]]Trash cans are typically made of steel or plastic (most commonly [[polyethylene]]), although some are made of wood or [[wicker]].A pedal bin is a container with a lid operated by a foot pedal. [[Lillian Moller Gilbreth]], an industrial engineer and efficiency expert,<ref>{{citation|first=Mary Ellen |last=Snodgrass|title=Encyclopedia of Kitchen History|page=423|year=2004|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-57958-380-4}}</ref> invented the pedal bin in the 1920s for the disposal of [[Food waste|kitchen waste]]. The foot pedal enables the user to open the lid without touching it with their hands.In the 2010s, some bins have begun to include automated mechanisms such as a lid with [[infrared]] detection on the top of the can powered by batteries to open it rather than a foot pedal, freeing the user from touching the bin in any way. This helps prevent the bin lids becoming clogged with trash. These wastes containers are mostly made of [[stainless steel]].{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} Some bin models also include a small receptable for an [[air freshener]].==Origins=====French===Legislation surrounding waste receptacles was first introduced in France in an 1883 prefectural order signed by [[Eugène Poubelle]], from whose name the French word for a waste receptacle comes. This order mandated the provision and collection of waste bins to each household in Paris. These bins were specified as having to be between 80 and 120 litres in volume and having a handle and a lid{{Citation needed|date=August 2021}}. Three waste bins were to be allocated to each household in order to sort refuse from reclaimable fibres such as paper and cloth and other reusable materials like ceramics, glasses and oyster shells.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jaggard|first=David|date=9 November 2010|title=Waste Management in France: A History of the "Poubelle"|url=https://www.parisupdate.com/poubelles/|access-date=18 August 2021|website=Paris Update}}</ref>===English===Legislation setting out the responsibilities for the provision and collection of ''"receptacles for the temporary deposit and collection of dust ashes and rubbish"'' by local authorities in Britain was first set out in the [[Public Health Act 1875]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Government of the United Kingdom|title=Public Health Act 1875, Section 45 (as enacted)|url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/38-39/55/section/45/enacted}}</ref> However, this did not mandate the use of them, leaving the decision to offer the service to local government instead.==Household collection==[[File:Bin.JPG|thumb|Household waste container (specifically, a wheelie bin) in [[Berkshire]], England]]In many cities and towns, there is a public waste collection service which regularly collects household waste from outside buildings. The waste is loaded into a [[garbage truck]] and driven to a [[landfill]], [[incinerator]] or crush facility to be disposed of.In some areas, each household has multiple bins for different categories of rubbish (usually represented by colours) depending on its suitability for [[recycling]], which will instead be routed to a recycling center.<ref>[https://www.ccc.govt.nz/services/rubbish-and-recycling/ "Rubbish and recycling"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160612123209/http://www.ccc.govt.nz/services/rubbish-and-recycling |date=2016-06-12 }}, ccc.govt.nz</ref>Roadside waste collection is often done by means of larger metal containers of varying designs, mostly called [[dumpster]]s in the US, and [[skip (container)|skip]]s in the UK. However the functionalities of dumpsters and skips are somewhat different: while a skip is intended to be loaded onto a vehicle and transported, the contents of a dumpster are emptied into a garbage truck on site and the dumpster remains and its designated location.<ref name="Chandrappa Das 2012">{{cite book | last1=Chandrappa | first1=R. | last2=Das | first2=D.B. | title=Solid Waste Management: Principles and Practice | publisher=Springer Berlin Heidelberg | series=Environmental Science and Engineering | year=2012 | isbn=978-3-642-28681-0 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8c4h3qshpJYC&pg=PA67 | access-date=3 June 2023 | pages=67–70}}</ref> Adding to this, there is another type of container known as a [[Roll-off (dumpster)|roll-off dumpster]]. This type is unique because it's designed for easy transportation and disposal of large amounts of waste. Roll-off dumpsters are set on a truck with a roll-off mechanism, allowing them to be rolled onto and off of the truck bed. This feature makes them particularly useful for large projects like construction, renovation, or extensive clean-ups where substantial amounts of waste are generated. They come in various sizes to accommodate different needs, and unlike regular dumpsters, they are open-topped for easier loading of large or irregularly shaped debris. ==Public collection==[[File:International tidyman.svg|thumb|upright|International symbol "Tidyman" used on packaging to remind people to dispose of it in a bin instead of littering]]Public areas such as [[parks]], often have [[litter]] bins placed to improve the [[social environment]] by encouraging people not to litter. Such bins in outdoor locations or other busy [[public]] areas are usually mounted to the ground or wall to discourage [[theft]], and reduce [[vandalism]], and to [[beautification|improve their appearance]] are sometimes deliberately artistic or cute.<ref>{{citation | title=Advertising On Trash Cans, Waste Receptacles, Recycle Bine - Custom trash cans with logos - YouTube | date=22 January 2014 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsMNjY6zAFM| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/rsMNjY6zAFM| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{citation | title=trash can advertising recycle bins advertising solutions | url=https://trash-cans.com/collections/trash-can-advertising-recycle-bins-advertising-solutions}}</ref> In dense urban areas, trash is stored underground below the receptacle.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shendruk |first1=Amanada |title=Could NYC solve its trash problem with underground trash cans? |url=https://qz.com/1329108/sensor-enabled-trash-bins-could-help-nyc-solve-its-waste-problem/ |access-date=5 September 2018 |work=[[Quartz (publication)]] |date=5 August 2018}}</ref> Many are lined with a plastic or paper [[bin bag]] to help contain liquids.==Metaphors==The term "garbage can" is also used for a model of decision making, the "[[Garbage Can Model]]" of decision making. It is concerned with cases of decision making in great aggregate uncertainty which can cause decisions to arise that from a distant point of view might seem irrational.A "[[Recycle bin (computing)|trash can]]" metaphor is often used in computer operating system desktop environments as a place files can be moved for deletion.In a workplace setting, a bin may be euphemistically called "the [[circular file]]", "the round file" or "the janitor's file". Whereas useful documents are filed in a [[filing cabinet]], which is rectangular, junk mail and other worthless items are "filed" in the bin, which is often round.The term "wastebasket" is occasionally used in [[Taxonomy (general)|taxonomy]] to refer to less formal (and often [[paraphyletic]]) groupings that pose problems in classification (e.g., the proposed order [[Insectivora]] is considered a "[[wastebasket taxon]]", as it groups small mammals that do not fit nicely into other taxa), and the [[Nilo-Saharan languages|Nilo-Saharan language family]] is sometimes called "[[Joseph Greenberg|Greenberg's]] wastebasket", as it was a grouping made by him to fit the languages of Africa that did not fall into the other groups, [[Afroasiatic languages|Afroasiatic]], [[Niger–Congo languages|Niger–Congo]], and [[Khoisan languages|Khoisan]].==Examples==<gallery>File:Public Garbage Bin in Nacka.jpg|Public waste container in [[Nacka]], [[Sweden]]File:Tampere trash bin.jpg|Waste container in [[Tampere]], [[Finland]]File:Taiwan 2009 Taipei Waste Containers throughout Liberty Plaza with National Theater in background FRD 7440.jpg|Waste containers at the [[National Theater and Concert Hall, Republic of China|National Theater]] in [[Taipei City|Taipei]], [[Taiwan]]File:GarbageMonsters.jpg|Art on waste containersFile:Dolphin-trashcan-july09.jpg|Animal trash can where the opening is the mouthFile:Sardina wastebin.jpg|Waste container in [[Tarifa]], [[Spain]]File:Bins sea.jpg|Waste containers in [[Greece]]File:Mülleimer mit Spruch in Traiskirchen.jpg|A public waste container with a saying in [[Traiskirchen]], [[Austria]]File:Recycling and Garbage Bin in Municipal Park.jpg|A recycling bin (blue) and garbage disposal bin (black) available to patrons in a Municipal Park within [[Toronto|Toronto, ON]]File:Trash Can Seen In Public Schools.jpg|Waste container typically used in [[American public schools]].File:Pyrgi garbage 1.jpg|Garbage can in [[Pyrgi]] ([[Chios]]).
