How it's used
Refers specifically to a bucket made of plastic, which is the standard material for household buckets in Hong Kong. It is a very common household object, often used for cleaning or storing miscellaneous items. While metal buckets exist, they are rare in modern homes, so people usually just say 桶 if the context is clear.
