Trash Alt

The trash-alt icon represents a trash can with an alternative design, often used to symbolize deletion or removal of items. It is commonly used in digital interfaces to indicate the action of discarding or disposing of something.

The trash-alt icon appears in various software and platforms, including file explorers like Windows Explorer and macOS Finder, where it is used to delete files and folders. It is also commonly used in web applications, such as social media platforms and email clients, to indicate the option to delete messages or posts.

From a UX perspective, the trash-alt icon communicates the action of removal or deletion, helping users understand that clicking on it will permanently remove an item. It is often used in conjunction with a confirmation dialog to ensure that the user intends to delete the item.

Trash Alt is one of 486 icons in Pixelarticons, made by Gerrit Halfmann and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TrashAltIcon to components/icons/pixelarticons-trash-alt.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TrashAltIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Trash Alt icon, or any of 486 Pixelarticons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Trash Alt", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TrashAltIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TrashAltIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Pixelarticons, Gerrit Halfmann and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
