Make an alias to the trash, then add the alias to the toolbar.
1. create a new folder
2. cmd-L to make an alias of it, name it "Trash"
3. cmd-i to bring up info on that alias
4. select new original
5. in Go to:, type /Users/<username>/.Trash, hit Go, hit Choose
6. Click Trash on the dock
7. cmd-i to bring up Trash info
8. click the trash icon, hit cmd-c
9. click on the folder icon in the info window for your Trash alias
10. cmd-v to paste the icon
11. bring up a new finder window
12. drag your trash alias into the toolbar
13. delete the original folder, move the trash alias somewhere out of the way, e.g. in your home directory

lots of steps but looks great.

This also has the problem of only copying items from other partitions.
