Im 99.9% certain trash doesn't get stored in time machine. Trash is a hidden system folder on the root of each hard drive you have, its best to delete items by clicking the trash icon in the dock and emptying in the usual way, rather than tinkering in terminal or unhiding files in the finder. The space utilized on your drives includes the trash in the totals, so emptying the trash (or just certain items from there) if you have a lot in there should free up some space instantly.
