garbage can - פח

The common Modern Hebrew word for garbage or rubbish is זבל

An HTTP error occurred during file retrieval. Error Code: 503
.

For example:

An HTTP error occurred during file retrieval. Error Code: 503
דני, תוציא את הזבל!

Danny, take out the garbage!

But historically, זבל referred specifically to fertilizer of animal droppings. The more generic term for waste, from Biblical times and on, is אשפה

Then there’s פח

An HTTP error occurred during file retrieval. Error Code: 503
, which today means bin or can for waste…

An HTTP error occurred during file retrieval. Error Code: 503
תזרוק את זה לפח.

Throw it in the bin.

…but historically referred to scrap metal, of which waste bins were once made.

So how do you say garbage can or rubbish bin in Modern Hebrew? Either פח אשפה, פח זבל
