If it's a desktop icon:
1) Press ALT+F2 and type in the dialog: gconf-editor + enter
2) In the editor, navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop and on the rigt hand pane check the "trash_icon_visible" checkbox
If it's the panel icon:
Right click on the panel, select "Add to panel", select trash (or something similar to that... sorry, can't remember the exact name, I'm translating from a spanish install).

If you put the trash icon in the trash just open any file manager window (nautilus) and select Go -> Trash from there you can restore the icon.
