I don't think that it's possible to dissalow at the moment. It seems that anyone that can access the content section will be able to empty the recycle bin.
Maybe it's possible to hook into an event and prevent this action when done by certain users maybe?
Otherwise this would be a nice feature suggestion, which can be made on codeplex.com/umbraco
prevent user from emptying recycle bin
Does anyone know how to prevent users from emptying the recycle bin? I don't see any permissions anywhere for this.

maybe a little bit of jquery to hide the recycle bin?
<ul><li umb:type="content" rel="dataNode" class="closed loaded" id="1064"><a umb:nodedata="{'menu':'C:,D,MO,SK,UIR,P,Z,T5,L','nodeType':'content','source':'/umbraco/tree.aspx?rnd=5aac760102aa4f80b5e6160a7a8a5274&id=1064&treeType=content&contextMenu=true&isDialog=false'}" class=" sprTree noSpr" style="background-image: url("/umbraco/images/umbraco/folder.gif");" href="javascript:openContent('1064');"><div>Home</div></a></li><li umb:type="content" rel="dataNode" class="loaded leaf" id="1948"><a umb:nodedata="{'menu':'C:,D,MO,SK,UIR,P,Z,T5,L','nodeType':'content','source':'/umbraco/tree.aspx?rnd=fe59878d597749efa68682d395749c4c&id=1948&treeType=content&contextMenu=true&isDialog=false'}" class=" sprTree noSpr" style="background-image: url("/umbraco/images/umbraco/folder.gif");" href="javascript:openContent('1948');"><div>Login</div></a></li><li umb:type="contentRecycleBin" rel="rootNode" class="closed loaded last" id="-20"><a umb:nodedata="{'menu':'N,L','nodeType':'contentRecycleBin','source':'/umbraco/tree.aspx?rnd=d95a0a4d6275411c8490fd9cf01bde9b&id=-20&treeType=contentRecycleBin&contextMenu=true&isDialog=false'}" class="sprTree noSpr" style="background-image: url("/umbraco/images/umbraco/bin.png");" href="javascript:UmbClientMgr.appActions().openDashboard('content');"><div>Recycle Bin</div></a></li></ul>
looks like you should be able to target li with an id="-20"?
