Talk:Trash Can/@comment-1338091-20120906230138

It would have been great for later updates to have the trashcan behave as a "safe", that would house all items you physically put in your inventory trash can. Making it of course an endless storage, which would eventually be a way to safely and effectively put away items without needing to teleport to the spawn point or go back to a chest.

Then, if you do not place a trashcan in your world then items would be invisible, but be available to you if you ever put a trash can in your world eventually.
