A container (10) and dolly (14) assembly, comprising a container having a planar rearward side (18) and a lid (12) that is pivotally coupled to one of the container handles (34) and pivots thereabout into a vertical orientation against the container (10). Retention flanges (45, 80) of the container (10) and the lid (12), respectively, overlap to lock the lid in the open position. A dolly (14) is provided having upwardly directed tine members (118, 122) that engage container flanges (58, 60) as the container is lowered upon the dolly to latch the container and dolly together. A pivotal foot pedal (38) is disclosed, operable to laterally move one dolly tine member (122) and thereby facilitate disengagement of both container flanges (58, 60) from the dolly tine members (118, 120).
