He is later seen returning to school with what appears to be blood on his pants.
The prosecution claims the bin contained the body of Ritzer.
Jurors have also been shown footage of the teacher's last moments, as she smiled and waved to someone in the hallway while walking alone to the bathroom.
Moments later Chism, who was 14 at the time, can be seen entering the same bathroom, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves.
