An embodiment according to the present invention allows a user to feed trash from a trash feed opening to a trash storage space without touching a waste flap while satisfying the requirements specified in United States Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR). A waste flap (32) is held in the open position by a locking member (42). As a result, a user is able to feed trash from a trash feed opening (3006) without touching the waste flap (32). When a set temperature of the inside of a trash can device body (24) is reached or exceeded, the locking member (42) deforms, and the locking of the waste flap (32) by the locking member (42) is released. Thus, the waste flap (32) swings from the open position due to the empty weight of the waste flap (32) and assumes a closed position in which the trash feed opening (3006) is closed. This closed position is held by the empty weight of the waste flap (32). In this way, a fire spreading prevention space (38) is formed below a chute (30A), satisfying the Fire Containment requirements specified in United States Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853.
