Abstract
A waste paper bin of large capacity comprises a base 2 having side walls 5, a bottom wall 4, and a removable lid 3. The bottom wall and the removable lid are each formed by folding a sheet of flexible material. The lid has side walls 11 for overlapping the side walls 5 of the base 2 when the lid is fitted to the base. The bin is formed from an inexpensive sheet material, such as cardboard, so as to be semi-disposable. The bin may be replaced by a fresh bin when it becomes worn, without requiring substantial expenditure. A decorative pattern or motif may be applied to the sheet material.
