Abstract
An improved commercial waste container and disposal unit comprised of a bottom plate rounded upward along the sides and welded to side pieces so that the weld and side pieces are unlikely to contact fluids collecting in the bottom of the container. The end door through which waste is emptied is securely latched to the container by such means that a handler may quickly and efficiently unlatch the door by virtue of mechanical means attached to the side of the container a distance away from the door, thereby preventing the handler from being contaminated by seeping waste.
