Dust(-)bin

[Damien Hall]

Barry Popik's second-latest post from Sikkim (wish I were there) gives the gloss
DUST BIN = 'garbage can'.  Looks to me like an Indian / Sikkimese recutting of
the standard British English DUSTBIN;  DUSTBIN is the only term used for that
object in any British dialect I know, except for the abbreviation BIN (which
also refers to any receptacle for waste, no matter what its size or where it's
placed).  Anyone else have that?
