Click on Finder in the menu bar.
Select preferences, advanced, and uncheck empty trash securely.

You've probably got 'Empty trash securely' and 'Show warning before emptying the trash' checked in Finder preferences.
Open finder preferences click the Advanced tab and if the boxes are checked, uncheck them.

No need to uncheck the warning, in fact I recommend against it in case of accidental clicking
Indeed 6string, Good advice. I just mentioned it as a 'user preference' only setting and should have stated this in my first response.
I have mine unchecked.
+1 for putting me right though ;D
