How to add Recycle Bin icon to navigation pane in Windows 10 File Explorer

Here is a trick which can improve your productivity and speed up access to the Recycle Bin in Windows 10. It is possible to add the Recycle Bin to the navigation pane (left pane) of File Explorer so it will always be one click away. Here is how.

A new Recycle Bin icon is spotted in the latest Windows 10 builds

Lately, newer Windows 10 builds have included a new Recycle Bin icon that replaces the old well-known icon from Windows Vista.
The old one looked like this:
old recycle bin vista
Microsoft changed that icon to this:
old recycle bin win 10
However, there was much furor and controversy over it. Lots of people started to complain about the new Recycle Bin icon (although I don't see what the big deal is since it is customizable). Microsoft got mostly negative feedback about Windows 10 icons and so they finally decided to replace at least the Recycle Bin icon.
