Not exactly :-) We prefer "rubbish" rather than "garbage." "Garbage", I think, 
is more American. Besides, that thingy on Windows is not a "trash bin" but 
a "recycle bin" (not sure how a deleted file can be recycled, but hey, if 
the "start" button is used to shut down the system, who cares, right?)
