A storage container including a pallet having a section which defines a mounting clip receiving slot and a sidewall structure having a mounting clip secured near an edge thereof. The mounting clip has a first section including a movable latch/release handle and a second section including a locking toggle operatively associated with the movable latch/release handle. The second section is inserted into the slot and the locking toggle is moved by the movable latch/release handle from an unlatched position to a latched position. In this way, the sidewall structure is attached to the pallet. The invention also includes the mounting clip itself (as described above) as well as a method of forming a storage container wherein a pallet, a bin and a mounting clip.
