"Recycling can" sounds like something used in a portable toilet.

en_GB is used by many applications; Netscape included. Obviously., most of the
world (that is involved in software development) agrees that Nothern Ireland
belongs to the Irish, and, not to the English.

Instead of the en_GB/en_UK variants, why not simply have English to indicate
the English English, USA to indicate the language spoken there, Aus to indicate
the language spoken here (Strine), etc? Simple.

Perhaps, instead of "recycling can", for Aus language standard, "dunny bin"
could be used?
