Abstract
A collapsible utility cart for holding working materials, such as a five-gallon drywall mud bucket and related drywall tools, is disclosed. The utility cart is expandable from a collapsed configuration to an extended configuration. A base has a plurality of legs that extend downwardly therefrom, each including a rolling means. A plurality of nestable, generally planer shelves each have a central aperture therein and a retaining lip extending upwardly therefrom at least partially around a perimeter thereof. A bucket holder is adapted to hold the five-gallon bucket and has a peripheral wall extending upwardly around a perimeter thereof. A plurality of support poles each have the interlocking means at each end thereof. A handle is included and adapted to interlock with the interlocking means of the top-most support pole, such that the utility cart may be carried thereby, whether the utility cart is in the extended configuration or the collapsed configuration.
