Abstract

The container has a plurality of baffles along the bottom wall, each extending from the first side wall to the second side wall and spaced apart from each other in a direction from the front wall to the back wall. A baffle floor is positioned along a top edge of the baffles opposite the bottom wall, including one or more drains to allow liquid to pass therethrough. The baffles and baffle floor support scrap metal above the bottom wall, allowing liquid to flow through drains into a space between the baffle floor and bottom wall, while impeding liquid flow during transportation.
