instead of delete command, use recycle:

http://sitecollectionURL/_api/web/lists(listname)/items(itemid)/recycle()

If you use HTTP command DELETE, it will delete permanently and below is URI struture:

http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/items(itemid)

If you want to delete item and move it to recycle bin, use HTTP command POST and below is URI structure:

http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/items(itemid)/recycle()
