Rotatable bin or like object

A method of transporting and orienting a transportable container apparatus comprising a main body that comprises a container, a frame, a base, and an outlet port at a work site, the method comprising:

• transporting the transportable container apparatus to a work site in a transport configuration, wherein, in the transport configuration, the main body is in a substantially horizontal orientation and the frame is supported by wheels in a substantially horizontal orientation;
• transitioning the transportable container apparatus from the transport configuration to a working configuration, wherein, in the working configuration, the main body is in a substantially vertical orientation and the frame is in a substantially vertical orientation and is not supported by the wheels, and wherein transitioning the transportable container apparatus from the transport configuration to the working configuration comprises:
• pivoting the main body with respect to the frame about a substantially horizontal pivot axis such that the main body arrives in a substantially vertical orientation;
• and
• pivoting the frame with respect to the main body about the pivot axis such that the frame arrives in a substantially vertical orientation and such that the main body and frame rest on the base;
• and
• rotating the main body and frame with respect to the base about a substantially vertical base axis to locate the outlet port.

A transportable container apparatus comprising:

• a main body, wherein the main body comprises a container;
• a base mounted on the bottom end of the main body;
• a frame, wherein a lower end of the frame is pivotally attached to a lower portion of the main body about a substantially horizontal pivot axis, wherein the main body is pivotable with respect to the frame about the substantially horizontal pivot axis to transition the apparatus between a transport configuration and a working configuration,
• wherein, in the transport configuration, the main body is in a substantially horizontal orientation, the frame is supported by wheels in a substantially horizontal orientation, and the base is carried at a rear end of the main body, and
• wherein, in the working configuration, the main body is in a substantially vertical orientation, the frame is in a substantially vertical orientation and is not supported by the wheels, the main body and frame are supported by the base, and the main body and the frame are rotatable about a substantially vertical base axis such that the main body and the frame can be rotated with respect to the base about the base axis;
• an actuator, wherein the actuator is operative to pivot the main body with respect to the frame about the pivot axis;
• and
• a hitch at an upper end of the frame, wherein the hitch is adapted for connection to a tow vehicle, wherein, when the frame is connected to a tow vehicle, the actuator can be operated to pivot the main body about the pivot axis between the substantially horizontal orientation and the substantially vertical orientation and wherein, when the frame is not connected to a tow vehicle, the actuator can be operated to pivot the frame about the pivot axis between the substantially horizontal orientation and the substantially vertical orientation.
