It's a Trasharoo:

It's the black version, and they also come in green, tan/sand. etc.
If you do a search for reviews and feedback you'll see that the black really fades to a more purple color over time from the sun.
They fit really well on Jeeps and I just rigged it to fit on the gobi laddder.
I have used it to carry firewood and other stuff, but would recommend against that as after just a few uses some holes have started to appear from the wear and tear of the wood and other non trash items. So I would suggest just carrying trash in bags and maybe a camp toilet in it.
Re: ARB Awning - Love it! It's a lot cheaper than some of those "van life" ones that folks mount on their Sprinters etc. which have the auto deploy feature. It can be a little cumbersome to set up solo, but it's possible.
I'm in the market for the awning room attachment soon so I can stop carrying one of my tents and just use the room as a sleeper etc.
Here's a video with some info:

Pro tip: When you have it set up at the ideal height for your vehicle make some small etchings (like with a Dremel, or just a knife) right at the retraction point of the tube... so when you twist and pull out the legs and top support stands you'll know right out where you need to set it and can fine tune it after that. This has saved me from totally pulling out the whole leg and having to feed it back in a number of times.
