Abstract

A caddy for recyclable paper constructed from an irregular blank of corrugated plastic sheet material such as double-faced polyethylene, with a metal hanger allowing the caddy to be mounted on the rim of a conventional wastebasket. The carton includes an open top, a higher rear wall, lower front wall, and angled side walls. The ends of the hanger are received between a rear panel and rear foldover panel which are hingedly connected and folded into parallel abutting contact to form the rear wall, the central portion of the hanger extending upwardly through a slit formed between those panels. Fastening tabs extending from the rear panel are inserted through slots defined between one side wall panel and a side flap, and a reinforcing tab extending from the rear foldover panel prevents the top fastening tab from flexing. An ear panel extending from the side panel is folded to form the angled top edge of the side wall, and engages in a slot on the reinforcing tab to press the reinforcing tab against the top fastening tab, further preventing flexing of either the fastening or reinforcing tabs. The two-bag tote container is constructed from a blank of double-faced corrugated plastic sheet material, and is dimensioned to receive two standard paper shopping bags. The two-bag tote container has a metal retaining rim extending around the periphery thereof forming handgrips, and a lid pivotally connected to the retaining rim utilizing a plurality of hinge flaps.
