The City calls them "poly carts". Seems good enough for me. Trash cans were big metal cans, slightly smaller than a 50 gal. drum but with a stamped sheet metal lid.

Trash cans are for houses. Dumpsters are big multi-cubic-yard boxes that businesses use. I've lived in the Midwest for most of my life and never heard the small ones called anything but trash cans (or bins).
Maybe it's just a Toledo thing?

I've heard bins, but trash cans are metal.
Sad but true. Sad because it's true.

No often you hear Dumpster, Kleenex and Vaseline in the same sentence. Outside being in a courtroom.

They used to be. But few are now. I did a quick internet search. Nearly every "trash can" and "garbage can" that comes up is plastic.
But I bet they "Are Round and Not Square?"

Do you know how hard it is to throw away an old garbage can????
I had an old metal, beat up, cracked at the bottom, one handle broken off garbage can that took me three months to throw away (well, maybe three weeks, but it seemed longer). I'd put it out in the plastic bin and somehow it would still be at the edge of the road the next afternoon. Empty, but still there, mocking me. I did that several times. Apparently they thought I was using it as a liner for the plastic bin
Finally I had to crush it and put it in the recycling bin. Then they got the hint...

Nope. There didn't seem to be any bias of round versus square. The shape seemed to be irrelevant.

on them. Trash the cans as well please.Monday morning, they picked them up, tossed them in the truck. The following Monday I had brand new 42 gallon plastic can for them. No issues at all.
The last time I saw a round metal garbage can was in the 60's.
Some people buy them to put stuff in to keep safe from EMPs , but the cans seem smaller??
Tactical Trash Can, I wonder if they bury them in holes in the Desert
Like this
PS, that is a 38mm LOC Kraft paper tube with an ACME fin can on it powered by an AT J570. Up part was fine body tube held up just fine ...
