Hi,

If you are considering a new name for "Trash" you could consider the
following alternatives. I don't know if any of them are copyrighted though.
They just came to my mind.

"Trash" alternatives :--

Vaporiser
Incinerator
Waste Bin
Shred-it Folder
Thow-away Folder
Blackhole

Unfortunately Dumpster is Macsoftware and copyrigted by a company called by
The Web Connection, http://www.thewc.com. It's a trashcan replacement
program.

This is what my info tells me:

Maybe you have to think of a different name.
