  • Patent number: 5967361
    Abstract: A dumping styled refuse container comprises left and right side walls each having lower edge portions for positioning on a support surface for the container and a cylindrical shaped bottom wall having a concave inner surface whose surface extends from left to right. The bottom wall is attached to the left and right side walls in spaced relation to lower edges of the left and right side walls for suspending the arcuate bottom wall from the ground upon which the container is placed. As a result, refuse collected in the container has liquids that settle in a well defined line along the lowest portion of the bottom wall. A drain hole becomes more effective that foe a typically flat bottomed container, and easier, less costly repair and replacement of rusted portions results. In addition, the curved bottom wall permits a user to more closely approach the container when depositing refuse therein.
