Dumpster is a Control Panel Device that allows you to choose an alternative Trash can to replace the standard System 7 trash can. 

IMPORTANT: If you are using ShareWare Dumpster version 1.0.b make sure you remove it from the Control Panels folder and also remove the "DumpsterCans" file from within the System Folder before installing "Dumpster" version 1.1.b..  The old "DumpsterCans" file is not compatible with Dumpster 1.1.b.

To install: drag the "Dumpster" file and the "DumpsterCans" file to the system folder, you will be prompted to install  "Dumpster" into the control panels folder, click yes.  The "DumpsterCans" file will be placed in the System Folder. That's it, open up your control panels folder and double click Dumpster.

To use Dumpster: Toggle through the various trash cans by clicking on the left or right arrow buttons in the Dumpster window or by pressing on the left and right arrow key's on your keyboard. Click on the "I" button or press the "I" on your keyboard to install the current trash can into the system. The first time you run Dumpster a "Dumpster Preference" file will be created within the Preference Folder and all preferences will be turned on. By selecting Preferences from the Dumpster menu or by pressing "P" on your keyboard you can change the various settings. 

1) By checking the "Confirm before installing" Dumpster will
    display a confirmation dialog box before installing the current
    trash replacement into the system folder.

2) By checking the "Confirm before deleting" Dumpster will display 
    a  confirmation dialog box before deleting the current trash can 
    from the DumpsterCans file.

3) By checking the "Install at startup" Dumpster will 
    automatically install a new trash can at each startup. The
    ShareWare version  will only install from the first five trash 
    cans in the DumpsterCans file. With this checked enjoy a new
    trash can each time you start without even opening Dumpster.

4) By checking the "Show Ion at StartUp" Dumpster will display  
    an icon at startup notifying you that Dumpster is installed.

By selecting "Delete" from the Dumspter menu you can delete the current trash can from the DumpsterCans file. By selecting "Revert" from the Dumspter menu you can change back to the original System 7 trash cans.
       
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
Although Dumpster has gone through vigorous testing and the chance of a problem is very slim please always backup your system file before altering.
