Trash is a term very very rarely used within the United Kingdom. If you look at the wiki[0] articles[1] on the topic you will see that Microsoft has opted for the term "Recycle Bin" in English (GB unsure about US) in order to avoid the unfamiliarity of terms, also a direct translation of Recycle Bin has been used in the cy_GB (Cymraeg) translation "Bin Ailgylchu". When referring to "trash" itself I believe it best to use the term rubbish and when referring to the folder or "bin" of rubbish it should be a Rubbish Bin similar to the Ubuntu en_GB guildeines[2].
