Seems more accurate anyway, it's not like the concept of recycling even exists digitally. I understand why Windows did it way back when to raise awareness of recycling, but nowadays it's just a bit silly.

The space the bits occupy is recycled when you delete the files and refill with new ones. The recycling bin is the place where bits wait for being marked for recycling

Honestly I think both work depending how you look at it. On the one hand with waste bin, you are throwing your data away. On the other you are preparing to "recycle" the memory so it can be reused.
