send2trash.exceptions.TrashPermissionError

I'm getting the following error when trying to trash (delete) a notebook (Untitled.ipynb):

Traceback (most recent call last):

Apparently, Jupyter is trying to write to the /ebio/abt3_projects/ folder, but I don't have access to this directory. How do I change the directory for ./Trash-*?

I'm running Jupyter installed in conda 4.4.10 on Ubuntu 16.04.3. Here's my Jupyter install info:

This should be fixed by PR #3304, in that it will just delete the file in that case rather than failing to trash it. The location of the trash directory is determined by a freedesktop spec, so that files show up as trash in file managers.
