Between the upper and lower peripheries, the container also has a side wall. The container also has a recess. The recess has a generally rectilinear configuration formed at the bottom of the side wall at the rear of the lower periphery. Within the recess is a lower tubular handle. The handle is in a horizontal orientation with a central extent of the handle being spaced from the container.
