Abstract: A wheeled refuse container adapted to be nestable with like containers for storage and shipment comprises a container body having a closed lower end and an open upper end providing access to an interior refuse-receiving area. A pair of wheels are mounted to the container body rearwardly adjacent its lower end by a pivoting axle assembly for selective movement of the wheels between a retracted position, wherein the wheels do not interfere with nested insertion of the lower end of the container body into a like container, and an operable position, wherein the wheels are disposed laterally outwardly of the container body for stable rotational rolling support thereof.
