Abstract

A container for trash collection includes a rear wall, a front wall, two side walls connecting the front and rear walls, and a bottom wall. The two side walls are deformable and can fold to allow the front and rear walls to come together, and the bottom wall is pivotably mounted on either the front or the rear wall, thus forming a compact structure.
