You can change your "Recycle Bin" name to another one as you want. You will have to modify your Registry files to do this.
First method
To rename Recycle Bin, follow these steps:
1* Click on "Start" => Run => type "Regedit" to open the Registry Editor
2* Press "Ctrl"+F" to search for the strings containing the word "Recycle bin".
3* Change the value data of "Recycle Bin" to another name you want like "Trash" or "Dust Bin"
4* Press F3 to continue searching for 'Recycle Bin' and change wherever you come across 'Recycle Bin' to its new name.
5* Repeat step 4 until you have finished with searching and changed all values to its new name.
6* Close "regedit" and hit F5 on desktop to see the new name on screen.
2nd method
1* Click Start then go to Run.
2* Type regedit and press enter.
3* Open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder
4* Open the CLSID folder
5* Open the {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} folder
6* Open the ShellFolder folder
7* Change the "Attributes" data value from *40 01 00 20* to *50 01 00 20*. Once completed change the "CallForAttributes" dword value to "0x00000000" (double click and change value data to 0). You must change both of these values to get the rename to appear.
Now you will be able to rename the icon like any other icon.
Right-click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and click Rename and rename it to whatever you wish.
Take care when editing the Windows Registry! Do not absent-mindedly edit any other values, as you can render your PC completely unusable. Ensure that you create a backup of your registry.
