Code:
 du /s %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer

If you prefer to have the total size displayed directly in the Recycle Bin interface, you might need to use third-party tools or software that offer this functionality as a Windows 7 system setting does not provide this feature natively like in Windows XP.
