Locking meansare provided for connecting the tops of the side panels to the tops of the end panels. The bin is characterized by its simplicity of structure, the ease with which it may be erected for use in shipment, singly or in stacked interlocking relation, and the ease with which it may be collapsed so as to occupy a minimum space for storage and return shipment for further use when emptied of its contents. Further features of the bin are its provisions for stacking while minimizing the load placed upon the side and end walls of the lower bins, and the freedom from the possibility of loss of panel members when the bin is collapsed or knocked-down for storage or return shipment.
