dumpster
A dumpster is a large steel waste container for garbage or construction waste designed to be brought and taken away by a special truck or to be emptied into a garbage truck.〔http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/american-english/dumpster〕 The word is a genericized trademark of ''Dumpster'', an American brand name for a type of mobile garbage bin. Generic usage of ''dumpster'' is also common in Australia, although Dumpster is not an established brand there.
==History==
The word "dumpster", first used commercially in 1936,〔"Dumpster", U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, trademark registration 0743745, filed Feb. 6, 1962, registered Jan. 15, 1963.〕 came from the Dempster-Dumpster system of mechanically loading the contents of standardized containers onto garbage trucks, which was patented by Dempster Brothers in 1935. The containers were called ''Dumpsters'', a portmanteau of the company's name with the word ''dump''. The Dempster Dumpmaster, which became the first successful front-loading garbage truck that used this system, to popularized the word.
The word ''dumpster'' has had at least three trademarks associated with it by Dempster Brothers, but today it is often used as a genericized trademark.
In British and Australian English, the terms wheelie bin and skip are more commonly used (although they are not perfect synonyms). In some other countries the more descriptive term ''frontloader container'' is often used, either in one or two words.
