ABSTRACT:
A dumping styled refuse container comprises left and right side walls each having lower edge portions for positioning on a support surface for the container and a cylindrical shaped bottom wall having a concave inner surface whose surface extends from left to right. The bottom wall is attached to the left and right side walls in spaced relation to lower edges of the left and right side walls for suspending the arcuate bottom wall from the ground upon which the container is placed. As a result, refuse collected in the container has liquids that settle in a well defined line along the lowest portion of the bottom wall. A drain hole becomes more effective that foe a typically flat bottomed container, and easier, less costly repair and replacement of rusted portions results. In addition, the curved bottom wall permits a user to more closely approach the container when depositing refuse therein. Lower edges of the left and right side walls include a horizontally extending flange for providing a foot which contacts the support surface upon which the container rests. Lifting sleeve are attached to each of the left and right side walls have an opening for receiving the tine of the fork lift therein. Struts extend between the foot flange and the sleeves for providing additional support to the container when being positioned on the support surface by the fork lift, thus relieving the left and right side walls from the stress.
