This is the recycle bin, not trash.
Apple apparently has the rights to call something “trash” and didn’t like that windows was doing the same.

Over 70% of all recycling becomes standard trash but with a bigger carbon footprint. I also call recycling bins trash cans.

As a British Mac user who upgraded to a new machine that could run a much newer macOS, I was surprised last year to discover that over here it’s now called the Bin.
