A container apparatus comprising:
- two or more container apparatuses each including three portions including first, second and center portions, the center portion is positioned between the first and second portions and having two center sidewalls;
- the first portion positioned at a first angle with respect to the center portion and having two first sidewalls which face each other;
- the second portion positioned at a second angle with respect to the center portion and having two second sidewalls which face each other;
- the first and second angles are equal alternate angles;
- another set of sidewalls wherein the two first sidewalls, the two second sidewalls and the two center sidewalls are spaced apart by the another set of sidewalls;
- interior faces of the two first sidewalls, the two second sidewalls and the two center sidewalls at least in part defining an interior cavity of the container apparatus;
- an orifice for passing matter to and from the interior cavity of the container apparatus;
- wherein first and second ones of the two or more container apparatuses include recesses and protrusions such that one recess of the recesses of the first container apparatus and one protrusion of the protrusions of the second container apparatus interlock in a first stacking orientation and a second recess of the recesses of the first container apparatus and a second protrusion of the protrusions of the second container apparatus interlock in a second stacking orientation which is approximately perpendicular to the first stacking orientation.
