there may already be an icon on your desktop.. if not, click on the search magnifying glass on your task bar, start to type recycle bin and it should pop up.

Mine is in the utility room, a lot of folks around here also keep them in the garage.

I'm a garage recycling bin person.  If you aren't sure where you left yours, you can always type in "recycle bin" in the search function by your computer start button.
