Abstract

A knock down bulk storage container is designed to receive a liquid impervious storage bag. The container comprises a bottom wall, a first pair of opposing side walls and a second pair of opposing side walls. One pair of side walls has T-shaped undercut outer ends, and the other pair of side walls has T-shaped outer ends for slidably fitting in and out of the undercut outer ends on the one pair of side walls to assemble and dismantle the container. When the container is dismantled, the first pair of walls are stored in a horizontal position vertically stacked relatively to one another on the bottom wall and then the second pair of side walls are folded inwardly down over the first pair of walls and the bottom wall. The container is provided along its front lower edge with a cut out extending through the container for fitting a dispenser to the bag when it is placed in the container.
