"Poubelle" a un sens général par rapport à "garbage container", mais il ne semble pas y avoir de terme plus précis pour le remplacer (il en va ainsi pour les termes "ash container" et "rubbish container"). Cependant, lorsqu'il faut préciser qu'il s'agit d'un récipient destiné exclusivement aux déchets de cuisine on peut parler de "poubelle/récipient à déchets de cuisine" (formés sur le modèle de "corbeille à papier(s)"). 1, record 2, French, - poubelle
