Aloha sebhet,
Just like trying to find a place to put the trash can in a room and tucking it in a cabinet or cupboard, you can set your "dock" to "Turn Hiding On."
That's what I do since the options for placing the trash with OS X (without going to a third-party program that will place it as a movable icon on the desktop), don't alow it to be placed anywhere but the NW and NE corners.
Much Love, Shawn
