Comment: "Thanks to all whose suggestions were gratefully received. Clearly a wide range of answers is possible. This has a very slight edge because of peer agreement but there doen't seem to be one definite answer. In English this has become a standard idiom. 'Don't rubbish it/throw it out' etc are all possible but lazy speech tends to dominate in current English. Many thanks to all."
