Abstract: The invention presented herein consists of an ash receptacle having an internal storage chamber for holding fireplace ashes or the like. A first hingeable door is provided through which ashes can be deposited and a second door is available through which the ashes are removed. An internal baffle is positioned within the housing to prevent dust from escaping through the first door as ashes are being deposited and a slanted rear wall allows the ashes to slide towards the storage chamber.
