Bote(s) de basura. Cubo(s) de basura. Cubeta(s) de basura. Basurero(s).
All four are used for trash can in Costa Rica and the last one I hear more often.

The singular is Bote de la basura, but in most countries the trash can is Cubo de la basura.

En EEUU tienen botes de "gravy" y trenes de "gravy", y tienen mucha basura también. Además, todos tres términos se usan a menudo metafóricamente.
In the United States they have "gravy boats" and "gravy trains", and also a lot of trash. Moreover, all three terms are often used metaphorically.
