Even English/English gets corrupted.

I'm British, in the US for 15 years. I've forgotten the British terms for some items.

I have no idea any longer what British people call the main bag you put rubbish into in the kitchen? In America it would be a trash bag or garbage bag (I can't tell when each of those is most applicable). Is it just a black bag in England?

And what is the equivalent of a garbage truck? A rubbish lorry?

These things have been completely lost to me.
