Completely clears the trash without having to encounter the "Item in use" error that typically appears. This renders obselete the default "Empty Trash" workflow that ships with Alfred. Go to Afred Preferences --> Features --> System --> Uncheck "Empty Trash".

The keyword is "emptythetrash"

Update: Now empties the trash from all attached external volumes as well.
