The terms "trash can" and "garbage can" are often used interchangeably, but they can have subtle differences based on regional language and context. Generally, a "trash can" might refer to a container for dry, non-food waste like paper and packaging, while a "garbage can" could be used for wet, food-related waste. However, in many places, both terms are synonymous and refer to any receptacle used for waste disposal.
