The Mac Trash Can Just Got A Major Upgrade

Why Put Up With The Constant Shifting of The Trash Can When You Can Have iTrash®?

Fix the Mac’s annoying “moving trash” and add some fun to your desktop with your favorite iTrash character — Robot, Black Hole, Valley Girl, Surfer, Zombie, Chimp, Wizard, and more.

Stop Chasing Your Mac Trash Can Around Your Desktop

Have you noticed how the trash can is never in the same place twice? That’s because it shifts around as your dock grows and shrinks. Put an end to one of the Mac’s most annoying problems with iTrash. iTrash lets you position your Mac’s trash can anywhere on your desktop, and keep it there. With the trash in one place, you can rely on muscle memory to drag files to the trash.

iTrash Features

  • Wizard
  • T-Rex
  • Robot
  • Recycler
  • Black Hole
  • Bug Zapper

Set the trash’s appearance from any of over 20 animated characters

iTrash Puts You In Charge of Your Computer’s Trash
• Place the trash anywhere on your desktop
• Float the trash above or below document windows
• Set the trash’s appearance from any of more than 20 animated characters
• Choose Secure Empty to help prevent recovery of sensitive documents
• Force Empty the trash on your Mac to override the Finder when it declares it won’t empty the trash

iTrash Puts You In Charge of Your Computer’s Trash

Bypass the Finder's Annoying Item In Use Error When Emptying the Trash

With iTrash, you can override the Finder when
it refuses to fully empty the trash

Fed up with the Finder telling you it won’t fully empty the trash? The Force Empty trash command will delete those items for good. Need to throw away sensitive documents that you don’t want recoverable? Use iTrash’s Secure Empty feature to overwrite them on your disk so that they cannot be restored. You can even tell iTrash to automatically remove files and folders that have been in the trash too long.

iTrash Not Only Gives You More Control – It Lets You Personalize The Trash Can

Quote

“With iTrash I don’t have to hunt for the trash can when I need to throw something away. And it lets me customize my Mac’s desktop the way I want, instead of settling for how someone else wants it to look.”

iTrash isn’t just a better trash can. Choose a standard trash can or, if you want the coolest trash around, choose any of over 20 animated iTrash characters that make sounds or even talk to you whenever you throw something away or empty the trash.

    If you can bring back Oscar singing “I Love Trash” like I had in System 7, I will buy a copy of this in a heartbeat!

      Wow, that takes me back! I loved that add-on. Fortunately, I didn’t have any kids back then or otherwise, I am sure many of my files would have been deleted in order to hear/see Oscar.

    I don’t know that I need a singing dinosaur, but I would sure like to be able to empty the trash on one disk without emptying it on others. (E.g. empty it on my working media disk w/o emptying it on my main documents drive.)

      Our T-Rex doesn’t sing, but that is a great suggestion for a feature addition!

        I love the idea of making the trash more fun. I wonder if you could have a theme of a toilet with the flushing sound.. like the old iCan app of years ago.

          You can! There are over 20 iTrash characters to choose from. This page mentions maybe half of them. There are a lot more, including the one you’re asking about (with sound effects).

          That is up to Apple. If they ever get around to approving it they might try to force us to remove features. Definitely don’t hold your breath.

    Love it! Reminds me of System 7, 8, 9, etc. Feature request: I’d like the option to hide the icon in the dock.

    Yes, selecting which disk to empty the trash would make this a “must have” app.

    Does this app have a setting so I can ‘automatically’ delete files that have been in the trash for over 2 weeks? (or a month…or a week?)

    Thanx!

      Yes it does – you can set iTrash to automatically remove items that have been in the trash for more than two weeks or one month.

    I heard about this program on MacCast and it sounds fun. I would rather purchase it on the App Store only because I have 2 macs and the license appears to be sold here for only one computer at a time. I guess I will have to hold my breath. Holding……. Holding……. Turning blue but still holding………..

      No, you can run iTrash on more than one computer, so there’s no problem there. And re: the Mac App Store, only Apple knows when it will get around to approving iTrash for sale there, but you might not want to hold your breath….
