Abstract
A caddy for recyclable paper materials constructed from a linear blank of double-faced corrugated plastic sheet material such as polyethylene, with a metal hanger member allowing the caddy to be mounted in hanging relation to the rim of a conventional wastebasket. The caddy includes an open top, with a higher rear wall, lower front wall, and convexly curved side walls. The ends of the hanger member are received between a rear panel and a rear foldover panel which are hingedly connected and folded into parallel abutting contact to form the rear wall, and the central portion of the hanger member extends upwardly and rearwardly through a slit formed between those panels. The front and rear foldover panels are shortened, and the front foldover panel is held in place by a pair of side struts extending from front to rear along the side walls of the caddy. The blank is oriented on the corrugated plastic sheet material such that longer or major axis of the rectangle bounding the blank is parallel with the longitudinal grain of the corrugated plastic sheet material.
