There is no recycle bin on a shell level. A recycle bin (sometimes call a trash bin or something else, depending on what window manager you use), is a window manager concept that can be used to dispose of things attached to icons on your desktop.
The rm utility physically removes files; it does not move them to a recycle bin.
/dev/null on UNIX systems is a special file that you can write data to that can never be retrieved, and, if you read from it, you will all get back an End-Of-File condition.
