Be more descriptive of what "trash" means to you? Are you referring to ._blah files? If those, then consider the dot_clean command in the Terminal. Replace MyUSBStick with your mounted device name.
man dot_clean
./dot_clean -m /Volumes/MyUSBStick
I am wanting to copy a large folder of mp3 files to a USB stick, and did not select quite the correct folder, so deleted it from the stick. When I tried to copy the correct folder the transfer was refused because there was not sufficient capacity remaining empty on the stick. I was told to try About This Mac > Storage. That shows that the stick is indeed nearly full, but offers no way of clearing it.
I am afraid that I not confident enough to follow your advice on using a command in Terminal, without further Help!
