When you read this you might have tried another tip for Windows 10 that doesn´t work anymore in the final version. In the Technical preview you could just pin the recycle bin to the start menu and from there in a second step to the taskbar. Unfortunately, Microsoft has removed that option, so it seems they actually don´t want us to use the recycle bin from the taskbar. However, there is another trick that get´s your shredder to the taskbar, even in Windows 8, or Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Here you have the steps in a short video and also below for your convenience.
Creating a Quick Launch Toolbar in Windows 10
I you want to pin the Windows recycle bin to the taskbar you need a dedicated Quick Launch Toolbar. This is a zone in your Windows 10 taskbar where you can place any program to launch it with just a click from there. The feature is quite obsolete in Windows 10 as you can pin any program directly, but it is still available and does a great job to pin the recycle bin there as well. Right click on an empty spot on the taskbar. Go to Toolbars and choose New toolbar.
