Just OPTION would do it.

I have been known to forget about Apple's trash completely. In fact I don't remember where the dock resides. Just a folder on each disk for trash. To empty it go to Terminal.app, or  in my case a BBEdit worksheet, cd to your trash folder and rm *. It's instantaneous. If I didn't have BBEdit I would write an AppleScript to do it with no typing involved..
