while deleting some files i somehow managed to delete the recycle bin too, cant for the life of me find it or know how to get it back!!
 
does it show up within the start/programs bar ? if so then right click and select show on desktop

or am i thinking of this all wrongly
 
Go to Desktop, right click and go to properties/personalize and then go to change Desktop icon, tick the Recycle Bin check box. Tada~

(100% works with Windows 7, pretty sure it's the same on Vista and similiar to XP)

I'm guessing Vista?

Right click desktop > Personalize > Change desktop icons (on the left) > Check Recycle Bin

[Edit]
I actually posted this first, so I should get all the credit because Mr Jones cheated and moved his post up above mine :(

:p
