[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] [Bug 406626] Re: Deleted Items Folder inconsistently named

In the UK, "rubbish" is the equivalent of the U.S. sounding "trash",
they are even used in the same contexts. Comparing "rubbish" to "trash"
would be a fair comparison, as it's the same thing. As would be
comparing "rubbish bin" or "dustbin" to "trash can".

Comparing "trash" to "rubbish bin" is comparing two different things
(the items vs the container they go in).

That said both "rubbish" and "trash" imply a certain finality about the
action, you don't go digging in the rubbish to get something back, but a
"bin" is a pretty generic term for a container (e.g. bargain bin, loony
bin), I'd argue that "Bin" would be far more fitting than "Trash" or
"Rubbish", like Popey said, the rubbish is what goes in the bin.
