Your user's trash is: ~/.Trash

There is also a .Trashes on the root level of your startup drive, but I don't know what function it serves since ls is denied there.

Hmmm.. Basically I am looking for a way to put the quarantine folder of clamavx directly in the trash folder.

The user's trash should work just fine... thanks for the help!

.Trashes exists at the root of every volume, I don't think you should have one on / necessarily though. Anyway, it exists so that you can move stuff to the trash on other volumes than your root partition without moving stuff to ~/.Trash (which would obviously copy it to your root partition).

There are subfolders for each user in .Trashes, like .Trashes/501 etc.
