A container is provided for a collapsible package of wrapped and/or consumable items. The container comprises an outer housing having a movable inner partition that divides the interior into a waste compartment and a package receptacle area. As the packaged items are removed, the partition is moved against the package causing it to collapse and become reduced in size. The amount of reduction results in a concomitant increase in size of the waste compartment. The partition may be an integral part of a sleeve structure having side panels with grip members accessible through openings in the housing walls. The housing is at least partially enclosed with a movable top cover which may include a waste opening and movable lid.
