You must have missed it, but there is the Idea Exchange for ReadyNAS Network Storage where you can make product suggestions and upvote ones made by others. You may wish to request that we add the Recycle Bin feature there.

Support should be able to pass on feature requests without requiring a contract, but the Ideas Exchange is monitored regularly and posting suggestions there should be enough. The more popular a suggestion is the more likely it is to be implemented.
