Abstract
A recyclables dispensing assembly includes a plurality of panels that are releasably coupled together to form a box for storing recyclables. The box is mounted on a vertical support surface. A door is hingedly coupled to a respective one of the panels such that the door closes a bottom end of the box when the panels are assembled to form the box. Thus, the door retains the recyclables in the box. The door is selectively positioned in an open position to empty the recyclables from the box. A clasp is attached to a respective one of the panels and the clasp is biased to engage the door when the door is closed. The clasp is urgeable to disengage from the door to open the door.
