A container for a pile of recyclable material includes bottom, side, and back walls and a substantially open front to facilitate inspecting the pile for contaminants. A pair of rotatable wheels on the bottom of the container, and a base on the bottom of the container are adapted to rest on a horizontal supporting surface such as a floor. A transparent retainer on the front of the container confines the pile of papers when the container is tilted and rolled from one location to another. The container bottom slopes downwardly away from the open front of the container, and the back of the container slopes upwardly away from the open front to promote forming a pile which is slightly inclined to vertical when the container rests on the horizontal surface. External means on the container facilitate picking up the container and dumping the pile in a collection truck.
