the.com/bin
A humble box that quietly knows everything you tried to forget about yourself.
means A container or receptacle for storing or discarding things, from kitchen trash to warehouse stock.
from From Old English 'binn,' a manger or crib — the trough animals fed from. The word likely came into English from a Celtic source, a cousin of words in Welsh and Gaulish for a basket or wagon-box. So before it held your rubbish, a bin held grain for the cattle: the same idea of a dependable box that keeps what you put in it.
