Usually Trash icon is located in your dock (right side).

yes its invisible ;


I found this somewhere which help :

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/.Trash as the path. For the Trash on other drives, open them in the Finder and provide .Trashes/501 as the path; the number may vary, but will always be the same for a given Mac OS X user account.

After you use goto, you can go to File > Add to Sidebar and have "Trash" there. You can't get the icon though this way.

All is well but when I close and open Finder this "Trash" folder in my sidebar change to "?"

You shouldn't be able to delete the Trash folder from your Dock. To put it back, you may reset your Dock settings:

  1. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
  2. Run the following command to delete the Dock preferences file:
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist


Log out and back in.
