Abstract
A container includes a palletized base for which at least four side walls can be releasably secured without the use of separate fasteners. A cover can also be releasably secured to the four side walls without the use of separate fasteners. The releasable securing of the container components is accomplished by a series of dowel holes defined in the base and cover. Corresponding dowel pins fit into the dowel holes for secure attachment that permits easy disassembly and reassembly.
