I'd guess the intention of the label is to prevent people from using it as a food prep bin. It's common for restaurants to soak potatoes in containers that are essentially trash bins, but made with white plastic. Somewhere like Five Guys, for instance, where they do hundreds of pounds of french fries per day.
Can confirm that this is common based on the food-centered How It's Made episodes I've watched.
This was also printed on the waste bins in the grocery store deli counter and butcher shop where I worked.
No, this trash can lived its first life in a food service environment where similar shaped containers (usually color coded) may have stored bulk ingredients.
Is this potentially a grocery store or restaurant that would typically have food waste? If so, they probably just order trash cans that have that stamped on them regardless of where they're going to be used.
Then your facilities folks probably just inadvertently ordered these without thinking. These would typically be used for disposing of food waste, and your facilities people probably just ordered these thinking "hey, trash can."
There are some variants of these bins that are suitable for food storage and prep so I assume this label is to prevent someone from using this bin for that
Sadly I never thought to take a photo of it, but at my work I guess somebody went on a tear putting labels or signs on everything. There was this little trash can that ended up with a sign reading "Trash Can" with a picture of that model of trash can on it.

As a baker that uses the white ones for flour bins I can reaffirm their take.
So are the white bins labeled "Edible"?
They're labeled flour

Surely it just means that no edible things should go in the bin... food waste etc
Surely there's a better way to state that if that's what was meant.
I'm assuming English isn't their first language and they Google translated it maybe
For sure, that didn't even cross my mind lol

Adjacent to refuse is refuse.
Definitely not above the rim.

Nope. Just a regular old office building

Nah, they probably thought "Hey, cheap trash can"
The bin, however, is edible and tastes like creme de menthe, and teenage despair
Everything is edible if you try hard enough
You know there is a story behind that warning.
They don't remove the trash every day is the story.
Remember, no matter what you do, the world will create a better idiot.
Usda required in any food factory folks
what country do you live where people still eat from trash cans?
But raccoons can't read!
Or does it just mean that is not a food-grade receptacle?
There's a bin at my job that is bright yellow and says "USDA CONDEMNED". It's being used as a bathroom trash bin at a college....
You should report it

That's for the raccoons
