Portable collapsible garbage can

A portable collapsible garbage can having a central vertical axis and inner and outer sides, the garbage can comprising:

• a) concentrically adjacently spaced substantially vertically oriented annular flat wall panels, each panel having upper and lower distal ends, there being an innermost and outermost panel, the wall panels being concentrically oriented about the vertical axis and having extending and retracting means for vertically telescopically raising and lowering the panels between an extended and a retracted position such that in the extended position the panels partially overlap along the vertical axis, the panels defining a garbage compartment having an open top and bottom and in the retracted position the panels are concentrically nested adjacent each other and overlapped along the vertical axis;
• and
• b) a locking means for maintaining the panels in the extended position;
• c) a horizontal base bottom and a vertically upwardly extending base flange rigidly connected to the periphery of the base bottom and dimensioned to receive and to completely overlap the nested wall panels along the vertical axis in the retracted position, wherein the base further comprises an anchoring means for securing the garbage can into the ground in a desired location, wherein the base is rigidly connected to the lower distal end of the innermost panel for supporting the lower distal ends of the wall panels in the retracted position.
