A container is a heavy-duty steel receptacle designed to hold large volumes of waste, debris or recyclable materials. These units have reinforced walls and floors to withstand the weight of construction materials, household junk and industrial scrap. Some varieties include features like swinging doors for easy loading or wheels that allow them to be rolled into place by a delivery truck. Common synonyms include dumpster, bin, receptacle and debris box.
