A "Colboinik" is slang for either a handyman, capable of doing many things or it is also the name of a container (one that holds all kinds of stuff.)
It seems like the fist option is the better option here.

Of course \"fist option\" should read \"first option\"

peelings bowl reinstated
Kibbutz dining halls used to place a bowl on the table into which people would put the peelings and other waste as they made up their own salads out of the tomatoes, cucumbers, hard-boiled egss etc. that composed their meal. This usage went out of fashion, but may it has made a come-back.
Only applies if the context is a kibbutz.
