Before anyone installs this on a Mac with a SSD (most modern Macs), I recommend reading the following article https://www.macworld.com/article/3005796/how-to-replace-secure-empty-trash-in-os-x-el-capitan.html. Essentially, Secure Empty Trash doesn't work reliably on SSD's (which is why Apple removed it) and is essentially made obsolete by enabling FileVault.

Why would anyone need this when secure Empty Command is right under Empty Trash Command.
