    Abstract: A dual-compartment container designed specifically to dispense unshelled sunflower seeds and to hold sunflower seed refuse. The container comprises a dispenser compartment, a disposal compartment, and a dividing wall. The two compartments are separately blow molded, and the dividing wall is made up of one surface of the dispenser compartment and one surface of the disposal compartment. The two compartments are held together by packaging and/or surface mating means. The volumetric ratio of the dispenser compartment to the disposal compartment is preferably 1:1.7. The container is dimensioned so as to fit in a standard vehicle cup holder. The disposal compartment has ventilation holes and is optionally made of an opaque material to conceal the enclosed refuse. The neck of the disposal compartment is situated on top of the container and is wider than the neck of the dispenser compartment to facilitate spitting refuse into the disposal compartment.
