French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion des déchets
CONT

Les poubelles doivent être propres et vides et le chariot propre et exempt d'effets personnels.

OBS

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