ABSTRACT:
A carton of recyclable material adapted to receive a stack of discarded newspapers to create a transport pack which can, in toto, be recycled at a recycling facility. The carton is formed by a pair of side walls having upper and lower foldable long flaps, and a pair of end walls having upper and lower foldable short flaps. Formed at the corners of the long flaps are latching tongues that are insertable into corresponding slots at the ends of the short flaps. The end walls are accordion-foldable, whereby the carton may be collapsed into a flattened storage state. To put the carton into its loading state, the carton is expanded, the lower short flaps are folded in and the lower long flaps are folded thereover, the latching tongues being then inserted in the slots at the lower corners of the carton to form a bottom ledge on which the newspapers are piled. When the carton is stacked with newspapers, it is put in its pack state by folding in the upper short flaps and folding the upper long flaps thereover, the latching tongues being then inserted in the slots at the upper corners of the carton to form a cover ledge locking the stack within the carton.
