Apple apparently has the rights to call something "trash" and didn't like that windows was doing the same.
As a British Mac user who upgraded to a new machine that could run a much newer macOS, I was surprised last year to discover that over here it’s now called the Bin.
Did you set the OS to UK English?
Yep.
Smart of them to patent the word people would otherwise use to describe them!
Over 70% of all recycling becomes standard trash but with a bigger carbon footprint. I also call recycling bins trash cans.
Anything talking about the evolution of the "Trash Can Icon" should be starting with the Apple version that Microsoft copied.
This is the recycle bin, not trash.
