ABSTRACT:
The invention provides commercial-size refuse containers preferably formed from a thermoplastic polymer. In front loading versions, the container includes metal lifting sleeves fastened horizontally on the exterior of each side wall and there is a portion of each side wall above the lifting sleeve which extends outwardly beyond at least part of the lifting sleeve and supports the lifting sleeve during lifting of the container. One of more vertically oriented channels are provided in the container side wall behind the lifting sleeve to provide integrally formed, vertical reinforcing ribs in the container side wall. The portion of the upper side wall extending outwardly above the lifting sleeve and the integral vertical ribs behind the lifting sleeve cooperate to distribute shear forces applied to the side wall during lifting of the container so that the container can be repeatedly lifted by the lifting sleeves without damage to the side wall.
