There is no trash can. [closed]

Hello!
I just installed Arch Linux with the LXQT desktop environment and the btrfs filesystem. Everything works perfectly except for the fact that no trash can was created. It is a nice feature which I would like to have. How can I add a trash can. Sounds simple, but I couldn't find much info on that

A graphical file manager usually takes care of that.

I don't use LXQT. In XFCE, i have to install the optional dependency gvfs to get trash functionality. Not sure if it's the same for LXQT.
