What do we name the Trash?

Files that are deleted in GNOME/KDE are moved to a special area, allowing them to be brought back if required. By default, this area is called the "Trash". This term has been deemed to be inappropriate for en_GB, and hence has been renamed to "Wastebasket".

An argument has been made that "Wastebasket" is an unusual word outside of certain geographies or contexts, and that another term may be more appropriate given the new international focus of the en_GB translation effort. Such a name must be acceptible to people from the UK, as well as universally understood (and perferably also used) by speakers of other en_GB-based languages.

How should this be named?
