1. Dumpster

   A dumpster is a movable waste container designed to be brought and taken away by a special collection vehicle, or to a bin that a specially designed garbage truck lifts, empties into its hopper, and lowers, on the spot. The word is a generic trademark of Dumpster, an American brand name for a specific design. Generic usage of skip or skip bin is common in the UK, Australia and Ireland, as Dumpster is neither an established nor well-known brand in those countries.

It is often found in areas such as commercial buildings, construction sites, or residential complexes, where large amounts of waste need to be collected and removed.
