I don't remember seeing a simple room wastebasket in a room at all. Maybe one has shown up containing an important clue to a mystery once in a while.
Starships might have waste disposal chutes in the corridors, at least during TOS. Not sure if I've seen a way to fit the trash into that tiny little trap door though, especially if it's anything larger than a phaser.
I suppose by the TNG era everything's recycled through the replicators. But if you've just had a party in your quarters with a dozen people, do you have to put the trash in the replicator a few pieces at a time? Do you replicate a trash bag first?
