A refuse container designed for use with a refuse collection system having a dumping arm wherein the configuration of the container allows the grip of the dumping arm to slightly squeeze one portion of the container to maintain a tight grip during the dumping or emptying motion of the container by the arm. Included in the container are strengthening portions which control deflection to produce a gripping cup or restraint in the container when engaged by the dumping arm. The strengthening portions are also designed in one embodiment of the invention to provide additional restraint to compensate for the greater inertia forces experienced on certain portions of the container during the transfer motion of the container by the dumping arm when lifting and dumping the refuse.
