How to prune out two directories in find command

I have the following command:

$ find /mnt/DCS_01 /mnt/DCS_02  \
  -name Transit -prune -o .Trashes -prune -o -type f

I am trying to prune out the Transit and .Trashes directores, but am having some difficulty with the syntax. What would be the proper command here?

You can use parentheses to specify multiple args --

$ find /mnt/DCS_01 /mnt/DCS_02  \
  \( -name Transit -o -name .Trashes \) -prune -o -type f
