Command line and trash bin

Ubuntu Users,

I recently reformatted some drives and did a completely fresh install of 
Ubuntu (Feisty).

In my previous installation of Ubuntu, when I deleted something from the 
command line, it went into my Trash bin.

Now, it seems that when something is deleted from the command line, it's 
just totally gone.

I've looked around the net and I'm starting to wonder if maybe I have 
gone insane or something. There doesn't seem to be any reference to 
Ubuntu or Gnome Terminal or anything that supports my memory that rm 
would work with the Trash bin.

I am as sure as I can be that I have, on multiple occasions, to the 
point of being routine, deleted something at the command line and then 
recovered it from the Trash.

Was I living in an alternate reality? Did I install some extra feature 
and not remember doing that? Is Feisty broken? Am I? What's going on here?
