Google N-Gram analysis suggests otherwise, with dustbin more common in books in 2000 than the 1940s/1950s: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=dustbin%2Cwastebasket%2Ctrash+can&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cdustbin%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cwastebasket%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Ctrash%20can%3B%2Cc0 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=dustbin%2Cwast... However, it has be losing in relative rank to 'trash can'. I believe dustbin is far more common in British English than North American English.
