Abstract
The double-walled waste container provides an open-top roll-off container being rectangular in shape and having latching door portions at one end.

1-20. (canceled)
A waste container, comprising:
- a first sidewall;
- a second sidewall;
- an end wall extending between the first and second sidewalls;
- a floor extending substantially between the first and second side walls, wherein the first and second sidewalls and the floor define an interior of the waste container for receiving waste;
- wherein one or both of the first and second sidewalls comprises a double-wall configuration comprising a first wall and a second wall fixedly secured to the first wall, the second wall comprises a plurality of adjacent second wall portions, each adjacent second wall portion defines an inner wall portion and edge wall portions located on substantially opposite sides of the inner wall portion relative to each other and angled relative to the inner wall portion, each angled edge wall portion is welded to an adjacent angled edge wall portion and/or to the first wall to fixedly secure the second wall to the first wall, the first and second walls define a plurality of vertically extending spaces therebetween, and the floor defines at least one drain aperture located below and in fluid communication with one or more vertically extending spaces in the double wall to allow fluid drainage from the sidewall of the waste container therethrough.

2 more elements
A method comprising the following steps:
- (i) forming a double-wall configuration sidewall of a waste container by fixedly securing at least one of a first sidewall or a second sidewall to the other, wherein the second sidewall includes a plurality of second wall portions, each second wall portion includes an inner wall portion and edge wall portions located on substantially opposite sides of the inner wall portion and angled relative thereto, and the fixedly securing includes welding a plurality of angled edge wall portions to adjacent angled edge wall portions and/or to the first wall;
- and
- (ii) mounting a first sidewall and a second sidewall on a floor, spacing the first and second sidewalls relative to each other and defining an interior space therebetween, wherein one or both of the first and second sidewalls defines the double-wall configuration of step (i).
