It doesn't work, because we goofed when making the 33.59 Workbench
disk.  We put an icon of the wrong type as the trashcan.
The easy solution...Delete your trashcan.info file
(you did that already :-) ), from Workbench, initialize a new disk,
and copy the trashcan from the new disk back to your workbench.
(this will be an old style trashcan, though)

The other solution ... I'll post a uuencoded correct trashcan.info
icon, so your trashcan can still keep lookin' cool.

Snapshot the drawer positions; Workbench will make a new .info file.
