ABSTRACT:
Three pieces are stamped out of a rigid flat material. A bottom piece having a bottom, a pair of side walls, a pair of end walls, and panel flaps is folded to form a tray for holding a plastic bag containing a quantity of pet litter. A middle piece forming a pair of side walls, a front wall and a rear wall is assembled into a single continuous loop, and fits snugly around the tray formed from the bottom piece. A top piece having a center panel, two end panels and a lip running around the perimeter of each end panel fits onto the middle piece to form a lid. The middle piece has an intermediate fold in each side wall, allowing the middle piece to collapse along the intermediate folds and the foldable adjoining edges of the side walls. The top piece collapses into a box in which the collapsed middle piece, the plastic bag and the tray formed from the middle piece are stored. A handle integral with and formed out of part of the top piece allows the container to be carried like a suitcase in the collapsed state. An opening in one side wall allows entry and exit into the litter container by a pet.
