Americans have one big category called the “trash can.” This encompasses the little one in the bathroom, the waist high one in the kitchen, and the chest high one with wheels outside that you roll to the curb.
The British call the little ones inside “dust bins” and the big one outside a “wheelie bin” because it’s got a built-in hand truck. I do like the American term “dumpster” over the British “skip.”
What is a wheelie bin? I’m unfamiliar with this expression, and although I could Google it, I’m curious as to how this is used in your culture.

I’m pretty sure it’s British for ‘trash can’?
