Trash can/Junk removal?

Is there a way to remove collected items? And by remove I mean like delete them from the world.

Right now, I personally, would need like 20+ chests for the unneeded/unwanted items I get trying to mine iron. I already have about 5 chests full of cobble.

If you were to have a server, that did not allow free_move, most players (not including admins who would have free_move), would have a bunch of stacks of items that they aren't going to use, or at least, use even a forth of what there is.

You just made me think of a mod. A trashcan mod.

Well, actually I started to do write one after I made this post, but then hit a brick wall when I got to the inventory on the trashcan. Since I haven't gotten familiar with the code and all the processes.

I was thinking something like, when you put something into the "trash can" node, it'll remove the object. Since it is possible to remove objects. But then again, cobble isn't an object, its a node/material item.

Lava doesn't remove or burn items currently.

Yeah, I've mistaken with the /give command a few times,. Now I have 5 or 6 invalid items in my inventory, and I can't get rid of them.

There is a dirty way to remove unwanted items:
Put a chest in front of a sticky piston, put all the items you don't want in and turn the piston on and off, the items in the chest are then deleted. Of course this can't replace a real trash can ^^
