Abstract
A reusable, sanitary and folding container includes a base, two folding sidewalls, two folding end walls and latches and hinges. The base includes slots that receive the hinge pins that allow the sidewalls and end walls to fold up and down. These hinge slots are open and provide for water or spray through them during the cleaning process of a container after it has been used. The container is formed of a resilient, but light polyurethane/fiber composite material.
