A noun is defined as a person, place, or thing. In the sentence, “The trash can is full.”, there are only two words that can qualify as nouns; “trash” and “can”. The tricky part is that “trash can” can be considered one word (“trashcan”) or two words (“trash can”).
What is trash mean?
1 : something worth little or nothing: such as. a : things that are no longer useful or wanted and that have been thrown away : junk, rubbish. b(1) : inferior or worthless writing or artistic matter (such as a television show) especially : such matter intended purely for sensational entertainment.
What is called rubbish?
Rubbish is a synonym for garbage or trash. The word is more commonly used by speakers of British English than by speakers of American English. The noun rubbish also means writing or speech that is worthless, untrue, or nonsense, especially in British English.
What is refuse materials?
Refuse refers to any disposable materials, which includes both recyclable and non-recyclable materials. This term is often interchangeably with waste, but refuse is a broad, overarching term that applies to anything that is leftover after it is used, while waste only refers to leftovers that cannot be recycled.
What does 4 R’s stands for?

What are the two most popular ways of waste disposal?
Open dumping is the most common method of waste disposal in India….These include:
- Landfill.
- Incineration.
- Waste compaction.
- Composting.
- Vermicomposting.
What is 4R principle in Class 8?
The 4 R principle is: 4R means Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Restore. Reduce- We must reduce the use of resources as much as possible and save them for the future generation. Reducing the usage is a method of conservation of resources. Reuse- Resources can be reused wherever possible.
What is 3r principle?
The principle of reducing waste, reusing and recycling resources and products is often called the “3Rs.” Reducing means choosing to use things with care to reduce the amount of waste generated. Reusing involves the repeated use of items or parts of items which still have usable aspects.
How do you implement 3R?
Simple tips to apply it:
- Use full washing machines and dishwashers, not half load.
- Limit shower time to 2 songs (not Bohemian Rapsody, please).
- Choose natural foods and spend time cooking.
- Bring a cloth bag when shopping.
- Instead of buying several small bottles of a drink, buy a large one.
How can we reuse the waste?
6 Ways to Reuse, Reduce and Recycle
- One way to reduce is to reuse. Instead of using plastic bags, bring reusable bags and Tupperware when going shopping or packing food or leftovers.
- Shop responsibly. When going out, purchase items that are easy to recycle.
- Composting is your friend.
- Start recycling.
- Go paperless.
- Buy second-hand.

Hello everyone,
is there any difference between dust bin and garbage bin?
Thanks,
cicciosa
-
#2
In BE it is a dust bin. Here in my area we call it a garbage can. I don’t know about a garbage bin.
-
#3
In BE usually written as one word «dustbin». But something of an endangered species now, often displaced by the ubiquitous wheelie bin!
-
#4
I’ve never heard «dust bin» before. Trash can is most common where I’m from, but garbage bin/can is also heard.
-
#5
Is trash can mostly used in AM and dustin in BE? What about recycling bin? British English?
By the way, does trash can also mean the container you put in the corner of the house in order to collect rubbish before taking them away?
-
#6
<Moderator note: Johnny’s thread has been merged with an earlier thread>Yes, I say dustbin (not dustin) for the rubbish bin outside. The one indoors is a waste paper basket (not for food items) or waste bin (for food and non-food items).
-
#7
Recycling bin (or recycling can, or recycling container) is also AE — assuming that one lives in an area where there is recycling. In AE, the word «bin» is not typically used to refer to the relatively small containers used for disposing of trash from a private house. If used at all, it would refer to something larger, like a dumpster. Thus, «garbage bin» probably isn’t used by anyone, as Americans would say «garbage can», and Britons would say «rubbish bin».
-
#8
and Britons would say «rubbish bin».
No. For domestic waste, left outside the house, for weekly or 2-weekly collection, it is «dustbin» (if round with a separate lid) or «wheelie bin» (if roughly square, on 2 wheels and with a hinged lid). A «rubbish bin» could be any one of a wide variety of bins, including street litter bins and bins on buses and trains.

What about trash can, same as dumpster? a large container with a hinged lid usually put outside along the street or in the community? What is the term for the small container you keep inside your room or your kitchen?
-
#10
«Trash can» is the same as «garbage can» in AE — the one you roll to the curb, or the similarly-sized metal or plastic one you find along streets, or even the one in your kitchen. «Dumpster,» described with pictures on Wikipedia, is the great big one found outside businesses and apartment buildings, the one that’s the size of a small car. (It was originally a brand name, by the way.)

So you are saying trash can can mean both the container you put inside the house or the one out on the street?
-
#12
So you are saying trash can can mean both the container you put inside the house or the one out on the street?
Yes. Every week, I take the bathroom trash can and the kitchen trash can, empty them into the bigger trash can in the garage, and take it out to the street. And walking around downtown, I pass several trash cans (not as many as I’d like, though).
And you can substitute «garbage can» for each of those. (I generally say «garbage can» myself.)
-
#13
In other words, trash/garbage can has to do with the intended contents, not where you put it, including, even, when it’s resting in a shop for sale.
-
#14
What about trash can, same as dumpster?
And a ‘dumpster’ (AmE) is a ‘skip’ (BrE) — which is most certainly not a dustbin or wheelie bin.
-
#15
A «rubbish bin» could be any one of a wide variety of bins, including street litter bins and bins on buses and trains.
As pob14 noted above, the term «garbage can» (or its synonym «trash can») could also be one of a wide variety of waste receptacles, including those on the street corner and the like, so I miss the point you are making. Why is «garbage can» supposed to be limited to a container for domestic waste, and thus a synonym for «dustbin», rather than a term of broader use and more of an equivalent for «rubbish bin»?
-
#16
A dustbin is one specific kind of «rubbish bin».
-
#17
A dustbin is one specific kind of «rubbish bin».
Which is precisely my point. A garbage can (or trash can) is not just one specific type of waste receptacle. If pressed, I would say instead that, based on the information given above, a dustbin is one specific kind of garbage can.
However, I think that all would agree with the earlier point that no one on either side of the Atlantic would use the odd crossbreed of a term «garbage bin».
-
#18
, so I miss the point you are making. Why is «garbage can» supposed to be limited to a container for domestic waste,
The thread up to that point was specifically discussing what in BE is referred to as dustbin. I have made no comment on AE usage because I prefer to stick to the language I use, rather than telling people what is used in AE. I have supposed nothing. If you want to point out that garbage can has a wider meaning than the BE term dustbin then why not just say so politely?
-
#19
And a ‘dumpster’ (AmE) is a ‘skip’ (BrE) — which is most certainly not a dustbin or wheelie bin.
We also have skips. A skip is larger than a dumpster. A skip may be hauled off by a truck. Multiple dumpsters are emptied into the same truck which leaves the empty dumpsters behind. I would also call your «wheelie bin» a dumpster as it is meant to be collected directly by the garbage truck.
-
#20
The thread up to that point was specifically discussing what in BE is referred to as dustbin.
Well, no, not quite. The original question that was asked in 2009 was specifically about the difference between a dustbin and a garbage bin (with my point being that no one would say «garbage bin») and the question asked today by Johnny519 that revived the question was in part specifically about the American usage of the terms «trash cans» and «recycling bins». As trash cans or garbage cans are not just «dustbins», but include a wide variety of refuse containers, I still do not understand why you disagreed with the statement that «‘garbage bin'» probably isn’t used by anyone, as Americans would say ‘garbage can’, and Britons would say ‘rubbish bin’.»
I have made no comment on AE usage because I prefer to stick to the language I use, rather than telling people what is used in AE.
Your comment did indicate that you considered it incorrect for an AE speaker to describe the term «garbage can» as an equivalent for the broader BE term «rubbish bin».
If you want to point out that garbage can has a wider meaning than the BE term dustbin then why not just say so politely?
I thought I had.
-
#21
Mahantongo. It looks as though we have crossed wires. The thread topic is about waste containers which fit the BE usage of «dustbin». Johnny519 added a side question which has taken the thread off track into two separate strands.
In BE a normal question 50 years ago could have been «have you put the dustbin out?» Today it would probably be «have you put the bin out?» because refuse collection has switched in urban and some rural areas to wheelie bins. It would be decidedly odd for the question to be «have you put the rubbish bin out?» I understood from previous posts that the AE equivalent sentence would use «garbage can» or «trash can». Thus it seems that whereas BE normally uses a specific term for a kerb side domestic waste container, AE uses a generic term. That is why, in the context of this thread, I disagreed with your statement that AE «garbage can» has the same meaning as BE «rubbish bin». That’s not a comment on American usage, it’s a comment on the problem of translating between two divergent varieties of English.
PS. Sorry Johnny519, I should have said Johnny519’s merged compound question added a second strand to this thread.

Multiple dumpsters are emptied into the same truck which leaves the empty dumpsters behind. I would also call your «wheelie bin» a dumpster as it is meant to be collected directly by the garbage truck.
I follow your logic (relative to a skip), Myridon, but then by that definition wouldn’t every household trash can or garbage can or dustbin that’s put out for collection be a dumpster? A google image search for dumpster comes up with nothing smaller than industrial-sized bins, or the communal type used for apartment blocks (at least 4′ x 2′, and many a lot bigger) — whereas a household wheelie bin is much smaller. Would you call
this
a dumpster?
I suppose you could say that (like the big ones) it’s designed to be lifted and tipped by the truck hoist — but where I live that rarely happens. Unless a bin is exceptionally heavy, the guys just lift it and empty it by hand, because the mechanical hoist takes too long.

I would say ‘bin’. (‘Trash can’ is an American term, equivalent to ‘dustbin’ to me, and my impression is that this is normally found outside the house or shop.)

(‘Trash can’ is an American term, equivalent to ‘dustbin’ to me, and my impression is that this is normally found outside the house or shop.)
Not necessarily. All of those items are trash cans, and it is common to have trash cans in (for example) a kitchen.
-
#26
In that kind of context of a restaurant, I’d probably just say «Is there somewhere I can throw this away?» Then whether it was a trash can, garbage can, waste basket or whatever, you’re covered. They might even say, «I can take that for you.»
-
#27

Fair enough. It’s not a term I use.
-
#28
Am I right with these?
BE: 1. waste bin, 2. dustbin, 3. wheelie bin/skip, 4. litter bin
AE: 1. trash can/garbage can, 2. trash can/garbage can, 3. dumpster 4. trash can/garbage can
-
#29
This is what I call them: 1. bin 2. wheelie bin 3. maybe “big wheeled bin” or just “very big bin” 4. bin
A skip is a completely different thing, much bigger — the length of a car.
-
#30
I can say ‘rubbish bin’ for all of them. I associate wheelie bins with 2 rather than 3.
Cross-posted. My own use is in agreement with Tegs’s use.
-
#31
I can say ‘rubbish bin’ for all of them.
But if a Briton heard these out of context, I guess they might imagine something different in each case, would they? Does any of these imply something that the others don’t?
1. What shape was the rubbish bin?
2. What shape was the bin?
3. What shape was the waste bin?
4. What shape was the litter bin?
-
#32
BE: 1 ~ bin. 2 ~ bin. 3 ~ bin. 4 ~ bin.
I would only specify the type if I absolutely
had to
: 1 ~ waste bin; 2 ~ wheelie bin. 3 ~ big wheeled bin or dumpster. 4 ~ litter bin.
-
#33

What puzzles me is that you didn’t mention «dustbin», and this the first and I would say the most common word that non-natives come across in coursebooks. Why? Are we again taught artificial language?
-
#34
I don’t know whether it’s me, but I associate ‘dustbin’ with a more traditional looking bin.
I’m happy to call a wheelie bin a dustbin, but if you can just say ‘bin’, why not? I think it’s gone a little out of favour. Certainly, I don’t hear people talking about a dustman, for instance?
-
#35
This is a dustbin:
They’re rarer than hens’ teeth these days. None of the pictures showed a dustbin.
EDIT: Great minds think alike
And no, the word dustman hasn’t been heard since about 1970.
-
#36
Pictures 2 and 3 both have wheels so they are both wheeled bins or wheelie bins. Number 2 is domestic ones, replacing the traditional galvanized dustbins, and number 3 is a commercial one.
-
#37
And all those baskets with holes in their walls will never be called bins, won’t they?
-
#38
That’s a bin to me too. Putting paper in there is throwing it in the bin. But it is (I think) the only kind of bin (for putting rubbish in) that isn’t a rubbish bin.
-
#39
the word dustman hasn’t been heard since about 1970.
They are «rubbish collectors» now. Am I right?
-
#40
Yep, within the context of the home even wastepaper baskets are bins ~ you really can’t live without the word bin in the UK.
They are «rubbish collectors» now. Am I right?
Ooh no, they’re household waste removal operatives or something catchy like that
-
#41
I agree with entangledbank and ewie. They’re all bins. ‘Bin’ is an all-purpose GB term for anything that you throw waste into.
I’d only say ‘wastepaper basket’ if I were deliberately trying to distinguish between that and other types of bins. As a rule, we tend to use the most general word we can [Remember your thread about standard lamps? They’re all lights, and we only say ‘standard lamp’ or ‘anglepoise lamp’ or whatever if we particularly need to make a distinction between that and another type of light. The same goes for bins].
They are «rubbish collectors» now. Am I right?
No. ‘Rubbish collector’ sounds like an odd mixture of informal and formal.
Informally, we say ‘binmen’. A more official term might be ‘refuse collector’ or (even more official-sounding) ‘waste operative’.

1. Garbage pail, since it appears to have no lid.
2. Recycling can with wheels or trash can with wheels. The City of Chicago calls them carts. I think I’ve heard actual Chicagoans call them cans. The Sanitation Department in New York calls wheeled things like this that you put compostable stuff in ‘compost bins.’ I don;t have a word for them that would distinguish them from the traditional wheel-less garbage can or trash can, which is circular in cross section and has a lid. The archaic garbage can or trash can of the Pre-plastic Era (40-50 years ago?) looks like the ones in #34 and #35, with a slightly different lid.
3. Small wheeled dumpster.
4. Trash can or garbage can.
-
#43
1. Garbage pail, since it appears to have no lid.
So speaking of the equivalent of BE ‘rubbish’ at home, do you prefer ‘garbage’ rather than ‘trash’?
-
#45
I don’t know the definition of BE rubbish, but to me garbage rots and becomes smelly fairly quickly: banana peels, apple cores, old stale pieces of pizza, chicken bones, coffee grounds, etc. Trash doesn’t decay as quickly, if at all: paper, cardboard, cans (washed before throwing out), plastic crap, disposable face masks, bits of wire, small broken power tools and appliances, rags, broken dishes, etc.
Since the object in 1) is lined with a plastic bag, I assume it contains garbage rather than trash.
EDITED: Having read the first of the threads that ewie cites, I see that my distinguishing garbage and trash is in line with my geographical origin.

trash can — a container for the disposal of dry waste matter. Cf. garbage can. * * * … Universalium
We can take the noun «can» and form an unlimited number of coherent and sensible noun phrases, including: a big can, a blue can, a heavy can, an empty can, a tin can, a coffee can, an oil can, a trash can. Just as you’ve surely noticed, the words big, blue, heavy, empty, tin, coffee, oil and trash all do the same job. They all modify the noun «can». In high school, I was taught to label all these noun-modifying words as adjectives. If we only want to look at the work that these words do for or on the word «can», that’s fine.
But, if we want to look at the jobs that can be done for or on those words, we find that there is a significant difference. There’s at least one kind of word that can modify adjectives. In high school, I was taught to label all of those words as adverbs. One example of such an adverb is the word «very».
These phrases work: a very big can, a very blue can, a very heavy can, a very empty can. These phrases fail: a very tin can, a very coffee can, a very oil can, a very trash can. Big, blue, heavy and empty seem to be one type of word. Tin, coffee, oil and trash seem to be another type of word.
There is more than one way to address this difference. We could consider «trash can» to be just one word (a compound word) that is just one part of speech (a noun) but consider «empty can» to be a phrase with two separate words (empty and can) and two separate parts of speech (adjective and noun). That sounds like the approach that your German English teacher takes. Alternately, we could consider tin, coffee, oil, trash and can to all be nouns. All of them (can included) are used to modify other nouns, and there’s nothing special about the way these words combine. Given the noun «crusher», we can talk about a can crusher as easily as a tin can, and even talk about a tin can crusher if we so wish. I used to have a very blue tin can crusher, but I threw it in the trash can.
Whatever system of labels you prefer, it is more useful to use a system that describes both what the words can do and what can be done to them. Labelling the «trash» of «trash can» as simply an adjective ignores the fact that «a very trash can» is not a coherent and sensible noun phrase.
