My recycle bin icon disappeared, how do I get it (currently using a 'shortcut' icon)

The displayed icons on the desktop (who are always there when you get a new computer) were all there at the time.  some time later, I realized that (the small wastebasket) recycling bin icon disappeared - I don't know why.  I was able to get back a "shortcut" on my desktop icon, but I couldn't find the original icon.  I have the shortcut icon has now the small arrow in the lower left corner, so I know that's not the original icon.  It works fine, but I was really puzzled as to why the original disappeared?  I had a lot of computers over the years and I never had this problem before?

Right-click on the desktop, click Customize, and then in the left pane, click the change desktop icons > put a check mark next to the trash
