Tango is really good for small-ass icons like the ones we use (15px). However, I hate tango, so I used abstract symbols. A trash can is not an abstract symbol, so it really looks like shit at 15px... unless it's Tango. :) Ooh. I hate to admit defeat, but I think I'm going to have wave the white flag here.
Of course, I could make something that resembles a flat-tipped cone or a cylinder with an open end, and call it a trash can, but that's, cheating right? So I've studied icon designs, and so far I can't seem to find a non-Tango trash can that is small enough to fit the 15px square.
