Can anyone here speak and write fluent Spanish?

I just want to say to her -- in writing, because lord knows I'll never pronounce it properly, "Please do not throw away anything that is not in a trash can." I would also really like to say, "Please do not go into my room to clean it, just leave the laundry outside the door." Can you folks help me??
Rohugh is right, but that's clearly a Spanish dialect. Odds are that if you're dealing with a Spanish-speaking person in the US, they will barely know what the heck you're talking about 'cause they're from down South, or you'll get funny looks for talking like a Spaniard. Latin-American/Mexican dialects just call the trashcan 'la basura' or ' el bote (de basura)'. 'Cubo' would come off very awkward.

I know Latin-American Spanish, and a lot of the included dialects.

'Por favor no le tires cosas que no estan en la basura'. My spelling is a bit off, but that's what happens when you spend you whole life hearing it and speaking it rather than writing it. 'El basurero' is another way of saying 'trashcan', so you can substitute 'la basura' for 'el basurero'.

As for the other one:

'Por favor no entres mi cuarto para limpiar(lo); solamente dejar mis ropas afuera mi puerta'

So there you go. Adding 'lo' at the end of 'limpiar' just makes it say 'to clean it,' rather than 'to clean'. Either is acceptable.

The question has been answered, it is getting silly, and this is an English speaking forum so there is no need to make stuff up.
