I may try the mod in .17 after updating the .json file and see if there are any noticeable issues (using a HEAVILY modded game), will report here after I check it out.
EDIT Got the error:

Failed to load mods: Error while loading gui-style prototype "trashbin-frame" (gui-style$frame_style): Key "type" not found in property tree at ROOT.gui-style.default.trashbin-frame.flow_style
Modifications: Trashcan

Mods to be disabled:
• Dectorio
• Enhanced_Map_Colors
• EvoGUI
• FARL
• FNEI
• Orbital Ion Cannon
• Todo-List
• Trashcan
• YARM
• auto-research
• bobinserters
• helmod
• what-is-it-really-used-for

So this may work without any of those mods enabled, but at the moment it needs some tweaking

Had a look at it and figured I might as well post here.

This should work with Factorio 1.0.0 https://github.com/BlazingTwist/GeneralGameMods/releases/tag/FactorioTrashcan1.0.2

Update: after using it for a bit I quickly got tired of destroying one stack at a time. Now, if you shift+leftClick the trashcan with an item stack, all items of that type will be removed from your main inventory.
