An articulable, open-topped, stackable, side-opening container apparatus is provided, having at least one bottom wall member, with a plurality of opposed side wall members emanating therefrom. The side wall members are articulable from positions substantially coplanar with, to positions substantially perpendicular to, their respective bottom wall members. Mating engagement members, affixed to edges of the side wall members, which are adjacent when the side wall members are upright, maintain the side wall members upright.
