My files aren't going into trash

[Kellie101]

When I delete a file it doesn't go to my trash can it just deletes....and when I tried to delete an imovie event it wouldn't let me

Did some weird setting change or something?

I'm on Snow Leopard and I'm using a:

Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
