That's a URL for KIO, not a directory path. KIO is KDE's infrastructure for providing a uniform interface to resources of various types. Basically, there's a KIO slave that knows how to read and write things using each of the different protocols, so an individual KDE application just has to do its file access through KIO and it will automatically support all the protocols KIO understands, which includes local files, SSH, FTP, SMB, etc.
The trash:/ protocol is one of several KIO slaves that just provides a specialized view of the local file system. There are several others, such as applications:/, system:/, and media:/. The actual location of the trashed files is defined by the
FreeDestkop.org trash specification, which, as AceofSpades19 said, puts the files in ~/.local/share/Trash by default.
