Trash can

Trash can, also known as garbage can, garbage pail, trash bin, or dumpster, is a container used for storing trash for disposal. As some of their names imply, they commonly appear as pails or large drum cans, although they can also be prism-shaped.

Usage
On March 16, 1975, the personnel at the United States Naval Prison Facility in Cuba tried to dispose of an incriminating cassette tape that exposed what was going on at the base regarding it being a black site, also arranging for a garbage truck to pick it up. However, Big Boss, the commander of the MSF, who had infiltrated the base to rescue Chico and Paz, intercepted the tape before it could be taken by the garbage truck upon learning of its existence.

In 1984, Big Boss, while in Afghanistan, utilized a dumpster to hide inside.

In 2014, Solid Snake, while undergoing his missions against Liquid Ocelot during the latter's insurrection against the patriots, made use of dumpster-type trash cans to evade enemy patrols in both the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In the former instance, he relayed the contents to Otacon, including leftovers from the previous night as well as various roaches on his face, much to Otacon's disgust. He also admitted when questioned about whether he had any reservations to it that he'd hide in a toilet if it acted as an effective hiding spot.
