How do the Windows people call it? I thougt they also use Trash...

But if Trash is not allowed, Garbage would me more logical, well, at
least
more intuitive. Besides, I didn't know the word Dumpster (nor does my
dictionary, 
though it knows what a dump is:), so Dumpster would not be optimal for
non-native 
english customers...

Maybe a less flashy name like "To be deleted" would also be OK. It would
be 
more honest in any way.  

Just my 0.02=C= (how does one make a Euro...),
