Time Machine: Where is the Trash folder

I see comments here and there that one can recover files from the Trash/Bin using time machine, if you have backed up your computer before emptying Trash.


But where and how can one locate the Trash/Bin folder on the Time Machine snapshots?


Thank you in advance

Time Machine doesn't back up the Trash. They're referring to items backed up before they were thrown away; for these, check their previous location.
