    Abstract: The present invention relates to an easily drained bulk container bottom. The container bottom of the present invention has a planar bottom wall which slopes downward from a high region to an opposite, low region. The bottom wall slopes in one plane and surrounds a raised dome which is generally centrally located in the container bottom. The drainage opening is positioned adjacent the low region to facilitate complete drainage of the container.
