ABSTRACT:
A refuse container and corresponding lid for storing and transporting goods, wherein the lid is slightly domed and provided with one or more drain channels for conducting accumulated liquid out of a recessed portion of the lid. The container is also provided with handles having a double vertical wall support structure at the point of attachment to the container for increasing the rigidity and vertical and lateral load bearing capacity of the handle. The bottom of the container is shaped to correspond to the lid to allow for vertical stacking and to limit the lateral motion of the stacked containers. The container bottom also contains radially extending ribs which provide additional material to wear away when the container is dragged over floor surfaces. The ribs, which provide a very small contact patch area, reduce friction when the container is dragged over a floor surface. Also, the container bottom is provided with an indented hand grip which assists in the handling of the container. The hand grip may also be used as a yoke to position the container on a person's shoulder when the container is carried in an overhead manner.
