This seems to come from the en_GB translation of nautilus:

https://sources.debian.org/src/nautilus/3.38.2-1/po/en_GB.po/#L4253

I am not a native speaker of en_GB. Do you think "Recycling" can be used in
all places where "Wastebasket" is used currently, and where "Trash" is used in
en_US? E.g. "Trashed On" → "Recycled On", "Date when file was moved to the
Trash" → "Date when file was moved to the Recycling" (or was recycled?), etc.

If you think these translations are fine, I will file a bug upstream against
Nautilus suggesting to change them.
