A rose by any other name…..I call ours the trash can or garbage can. I don't use any of that technical lingo.
Where in the US? The only things I've ever heard them called is "rolling trash cans" or "garbage cans with wheels", and the like.^ In the USA we call them dumpsters
Midwest, I've never heard them called anything else in my travels to the west or east coast either. Why say 3-4 words when one is already defined.Where in the US? The only things I've ever heard them called is "rolling trash cans" or "garbage cans with wheels", and the like.
No, that's just "Please take the trash out."Heave you heard this?
"Dear, please put this bag outside into the rolling trash can"
And if you want to pick nits, Dumpster is a trademark for a particular brand of those things, like Kleenex and Vaseline.Here in the Mid-Atlantic region MD/DC/VA we've only ever just called them "trash cans", wheels or not.
Dumpsters are those big metal things behind a business that takes the truck with big forks to empty.
