This is what the recycle bin of a Macintosh looks like:
https://image.ibb.co/nBjh8L/Recycle-Bin.png

I think many users think this "clean" button is usefull, even if it is
unconsistent with what all other places look like in the Finder. Same with
Gmail. And I miss this feature in the Apple "Mail" application.

Since "Recycle Bin" is a "special" place with a "special" use-case, I don't
think it's horrible to have a special button to make it easy to use. I
would hate to have to play with bulk actions for this simple use-case
because of "consistency".
