great article on Wikipedia about Poubelle also.
I guess I have to add a note about an elderly relative born in the 20s. The family was poor. She told me that they didn’t need a wastebasket because they never threw anything away. They saved every piece of paper, every string and washed every bit of foil to re-use. So different than now where we have so much waste.
