As an American, I'm mildly jealous of the Brits' usage of "bin" for garbage cans. It's so succinct as to be appropriately dismissive, while we seemingly sanctify the idea with complex terms like "Wastebasket," "Trash/Garbage Can," or (worst of all) "Trash Receptacle."

"Binface" wouldn't be nearly as funny using an American term.

We use bin to mean any largish container, so shops have clothes bins, factories have parts bins, &c.

Bin is also short for rubbish bin (the smaller ones in the home) or dustbin (the larger ones outside).

Weirdly we rarely use either of garbage or trash. Even the lorries we call refuse trucks.
