    IANAL, but in this context, it means “disposed of,” or “abolished,” probably based on some usage involving “throwing [something] in the trash can,” just like one might say something was “binned” in the UK.

    It can also mean “fired (from a job),” as in “Donny showed up to work drunk, so he got canned.”
