ui concepts should be consistent. If I'm a newbe learning about workspaces:
In workspace one I drag my icon to the trashcan to delete things. In
workspace two, there is no trashcan. why? because someone on a list decided
they like to use the delete key?
UI mantra: Consistency. Simplicity. Options.

I windows I have my Recycle Bin on my Deskbar. I've never dragged stuff to
it because I use the delete key on the keyboard. I find it rather
convienant because I can right+click on it and click empty recycle bin
without having to minimize all my open windows to get at it.
