Hay que traducir de acuerdo con el contexto, si se trata de una obra ser�a CONTENEDOR DE ESCOMBROS, �stos suelen ser de material r�gido y pesado ya que el material que contienen es a su vez muy pesado. Si se trata de basura lo traducir�as como CONTENEDOR DE BASURA, que suelen ser m�s peque�os y de pl�stico. Del texto podr�s deducir cual es la traducci�n m�s correcta.

Basurero

My comment:

It's not dumspter, it's DUMPSTER and you usually refer to it as the 'basurero' or 'pote de basura' or 'contenedor de basura' ... really depending more on the region/country where the context is in.
