ABSTRACT:
A portable, open top, mail collecting container constructed and shaped from lightweight material for removable insertion inside of a mail collection box through the box access door. The upper edges of the container incline downwardly from the rear end wall towards the front end wall to facilitate insertion in and removal through the restricted access opening in the side of a mailbox. A moisture impervious bottom wall on the container is provided with liquid drainage apertures and is supported on vertically extending projections to permit any liquid which might fall into the container to drain through the bottom and to protect mail collected in the container from exposure to moisture when the container is rested on the ground in the course of handling. The upright side and end walls of the container are preferably formed from a single piece of fiberboard which is cut and scored to be folded to a substantially rectangular shape; and the bottom portion of the container takes the form of a moisture impervious base tray having upstanding side and end panels affixed to the bottom ends of the upright fiberboard walls.
