It's possible to create multiple ical collections (which implies multiple
ical resources), each collection being stored in a separate calendar file.
So for a trash collection, you could create another ical
resource/collection which would use a different calendar file.

AFAIK it's agents which can't be duplicated, whereas one agent (e.g. ical)
can have multiple resources.
