(1) Try

% \rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*

(2) Or rather, in your .login file,

alias empty '\rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/*'

and, when you want to empty the trash, type

% empty

Note that this will not remove the dot in the middle of the recycler icon
until the icon is refreshed--by, for example, opening the trash.

And last, in your .logout (not .logoff) file, put either 
\rm ~/.NeXT/.NextTrash/* or empty, depending on which option
you chose above.

Hope this helps.
Gene.
