Not exactly, ones called 'Recycle Bin" and the other "Trash". Apart from Linux not moving some files to the trash bin (settings mainly) they work pretty much the same.
Unless you recycle, all of your waste, not counting what goes in the sewer, goes to landfills. At your home, about 15% of your trash is recyclable and in an office as much as 85% of what goes into trash cans is recyclable.
Everyday a average human creates enough garbage to fill 5 garbage trucks. Think how much that can add up to in a week, a month, a year ... a lifetime????? Do the math, that's about 73 000 trucks for a average 40 year old. Reduce, reuse and recycle!!!
I don't save any of it; it all gets thrown away.

About 67 pieces and usually more. This is why many countries are having major recycling initiatives.
On average, a person generates about 1,500 pounds (approximately 680 kilograms) of trash per year in the United States. This figure can vary significantly depending on factors such as location, lifestyle, and recycling habits. Globally, the average waste per person is estimated to be around 440 pounds (200 kilograms) annually. Efforts to reduce waste and improve recycling can help lower these numbers.
The average amount of trash per year that people create is 230 million tons, and most of that amount ends up at a dump. In terms of how much is added to a dump per year that varies depending on how many people live in the area the dump serves and how much waste is brought to the dump.
Well... recycling doesn't really help much from what I understand because I watched a documentary on like pollution and the process of recycling and they showed the people who were separating the trash from the recycle ables and they kept dropping trash AND recycle ables on the ground and never even picked anything up!so I think that people are just SO careless these days!
