A modular container wall unit and containment system formed therewith, each wall unit being comprised of a central panel having wing-like panels integrally formed on opposite sides thereof and angularly intersecting the central panel at an angle such that, when the wings of another modular unit are affixed to the central panel of the present unit, and one or more like units are affixed to the second and third units, a chamber is formed which, when combined with a bottom panel and a top panel, defines a container. The central panel of each unit is designed to include recessed areas adapted to mate with the wing panel of another modular unit to facilitate the expansion of the system to form an adjacent cell or chamber. Furthermore, the modular unit is configured to withstand lateral loads and maintain system integrity.
