no problem, i have done this before and i am still alive and well :-)

Give this script to the things that are supposed to be dropped on the 
trash:

on mousedown
   grab me
   ## yes, the easy way, why not :-)
end mousedown

on mouseUp
   if within(img "the correct trashcan", the mouseloc) then
        hide me
        ## or do whatever you want in this case
   else
     set the loc of me to x,y
     ## replace x,y with the original loc of this object
   end if
end mouseUp


Hope that helps...
