What is claimed is: 1. A container adapted to receive an inner receptacle, the container comprising: a base for supporting a lower portion of the inner receptacle, the base including a peripheral frame portion defining at least one relatively large opening therebetween; a first pair of opposed wall
What is claimed is: 1. A container adapted to receive an inner receptacle, the container comprising: a base for supporting a lower portion of the inner receptacle, the base including a peripheral frame portion defining at least one relatively large opening therebetween; a first pair of opposed walls pivotably attached to the peripheral frame portion and movable between an assembled position and an inwardly collapsed position; a second pair of opposed walls pivotably attached to the peripheral frame portion and movable between an assembled position and an inwardly collapsed position, each of the second pair of opposed walls releasably attached to an adjacent one of the first pair of opposed walls, wherein the assembled first and second pairs of opposed walls and the base define a compartment area which is arranged to removably receive the inner receptacle therein. 2. The container according to claim 1, wherein the peripheral frame portion includes an inwardly extending flange for supporting the lower portion of the inner receptacle. 3. The container according to claim 1, further comprising a base member extending across the relatively large opening. 4. The container according to claim 3, wherein the base member includes at least one cross-member attached to the peripheral frame portion. 5. The container according to claim 3, wherein the base member includes an exterior ring and a lightweight support material affixed thereacross, the exterior ring adapted to be supported by an inwardly extending flange of the peripheral frame portion. 6. The container according to claim 1, wherein the first and second pairs of opposed walls include a plurality of relatively large apertures which represent a substantial portion of each of the first and second pairs of opposed walls. 7. The container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes attachment members for securing the inner receptacle to the opposed walls. 8. The container according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes an integral handle. 9. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes bail arms pivotably attached thereto. 10. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes a guide projection and the other includes a guide receiver for aligning the first and second pairs of opposed walls in the assembled position. 11. The container according to claim 1, wherein one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes a latch and the other includes a latch receiver for securing the first and second pairs of opposed walls in the assembled position. 12. A container adapted to receive an inner receptacle, comprising: a base including a peripheral frame portion; a base member adapted to be received on the peripheral frame portion for supporting a lower portion of the inner receptacle, the base member including an exterior ring and a lightweight support material affixed thereacross; a first pair of opposed walls extending upwardly from the peripheral frame portion; and a second pair of opposed walls extending upwardly from the peripheral frame portion and attached to the first pair of opposed walls, wherein the first and second pairs of opposed walls and the base define a compartment area for receiving the inner receptacle therein. 13. The container according to claim 12, wherein the exterior ring is adapted to be supported by an inwardly extending flange of the peripheral frame portion. 14. The container according to claim 12, wherein the exterior ring is releasably attached to the peripheral frame portion. 15. The container according to claim 12, wherein the first and second pairs of opposed walls include a plurality of relatively large apertures which represent a substantial portion of each of the first and second pairs of opposed walls. 16. The container according to claim 12, wherein at least one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes attachment members for securing the inner receptacle within the compartment area. 17. The container according to claim 12, wherein the first and second pairs of opposed walls are each pivotably attached to the peripheral frame portion and releasably attached to each other, such that the first and second pairs of opposed walls are orientable between an assembled position and a collapsed position. 18. A collapsible container adapted to receive an inner receptacle, the container comprising: a base for supporting a lower portion of the inner receptacle, the base having a peripheral frame portion defining at least one relatively large opening therebetween; a first pair of opposed walls pivotably attached to the peripheral frame portion and movable between an assembled position and an inwardly collapsed position, each of the first pair of opposed walls having a flange depending inwardly therefrom; and a second pair of opposed walls pivotably attached to the peripheral frame portion and movable between an assembled position and an inwardly collapsed position, each of the second pair of opposed walls releasably attached to the flange of an adjacent one of the first pair of opposed walls in the assembled position, wherein orienting the first and second pairs of opposed walls in the assembled position defines a compartment area which is arranged to removably receive the inner receptacle therein. 19. The container according to claim 18, wherein one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes a guide projection and the other includes a guide receiver for aligning the first and second pairs of opposed walls in the assembled position. 20. The container according to claim 18, wherein one of the first and second pairs of opposed walls includes a latch and the other includes a latch receiver for securing the first and second pairs of opposed walls in the assembled position. 21. The collapsible container according to claim 20, wherein the latch receiver is disposed within the flange depending inwardly from each of the first pair of opposed walls, the latch receiver having a latch aperture and a user actuable release portion, wherein the latch aperture is sized for slidingly receiving the corresponding latch when the container is oriented in the assembled position, such that to release the container from the assembled position, the user actuable release portion is actuated by a user to release the latch from the latch aperture. 22. The collapsible container according to claim 18, wherein the peripheral frame portion includes an inwardly extending flange for supporting the lower portion of the inner receptacle. 23. The collapsible container according to claim 18, further comprising a base member extending across the relatively large opening. 24. The collapsible container according to claim 23, wherein the base member includes at least one cross-member attached to the peripheral frame portion. 25.
