You should put this on your radar - cli trashcan

[James Dinkel]

Here is a new project that might become a useful tool for server
admins: http://www.linux.com/feature/138331

It's a trashcan that can be used from the commandline.  So basically,
you would use the "trash" command to delete files and directories,
instead of the "rm" command.  It's pretty new and immature right now,
and it's not in any repos, but someday it could be a useful tool.
