Abstract: A storage container forming a compartment for storing garbage or edibles. The compartment is kept sealed from entry by a wild animal by a circular lid member being threadable onto the container member. A plurality of vertically extending hand grips are connected to the lid member at angular intervals. A plurality of peripheral recesses are formed at angular intervals around the rim of the bottom wall of the container that are adapted to receive the forward part of the foot of a user so the user can hold the container member against the support surface with one or both feet while threading the lid onto or from the container member. The generally cylindrical wall of the container is tapered inwardly top to bottom so that a number of containers can be stacked one inside another. Side lifting handles are provided.
