Abstract

A cardboard container which can be used in a compactor to contain domestic refuse, comprises a body and a cover. The container body is formed from a single blank by folding side panels thereof about a central panel forming the bottom. Corner panels folded along a diagonal ensure sealing relative to liquids located in the lower part of the container and provide handles which are retained and reinforced by flaps located on the body and on the cover and wound about the handles.
