A handle assembly for grippably engaging a container, said handle assembly comprising:

• an annular member;
• an elongate member having an elongate member length disposed between elongate member first and second ends;
• and
• a first pivot element which passes through said elongate member first end from an elongate member back surface to an elongate member front surface to pivotally couple said elongate member first end to said annular member;
• wherein said handle assembly is configured to couple to said container by rotatable coupling of said annular member about a container external wall and pivotal coupling of said elongate member second end to said container external wall;
• wherein said handle assembly coupled to said container is adjustable between a collapsed condition and an extended condition;
• wherein in said collapsed condition, said elongate member back surface disposes proximate and faces said container external wall;
• wherein in said extended condition, said elongate member length outwardly extends from said container external wall to provide a grippable element for grippably engaging said container.
