Wastebasket is an Applescript application, which mimics behaviour of the Desktop Trash Icon in Mac OS 9.
 
The trash in Mac OS X breaks a fairly fundamental interface guideline (actually the whole dock does that) -It moves about, and can even be hidden. –GUI Waste targets should remain in the same place, so that you don’t have to waste time looking closely when aiming for them: For example the Apple Menu, or Hard Disk Icons. -Yes you can, in current versions of Mac OS X pin the dock to the side with a hack, but Apple could break that quite easily, just as they broke earlier hacks which put the trash on the desktop. -Also pinning the trash makes the other icons on the dock move around even more. If that's how you want to use Mac OS X then that's up to you, don't criticise me for doing it my way!

What's New:
  • It now ejects Disks as well.
