1. A wheeled bucket, comprising: an integrally formed bucket, comprising: a bottom portion; anda bucket interior formed by substantially vertical walls, wherein the substantially vertical walls are defined by at least two sidewalls, a back face, and a front face, and wherein the bottom portion positioned proximate the front face faces substantially downward;an upwardly extending portion having a fixed height, wherein the upwardly extending portion integrally extends from at least the back face of the integrally formed bucket so as to terminate substantially above a height of the integrally formed bucket, and wherein a width of the upwardly extending portion is less than a diameter of the bucket interior formed by the substantially vertical walls;an upper rim, which is a downwardly curved extension of at least a portion of a top of the sidewalls, the upper rim constituting a hand grip configured to allow for a hand-holding of the wheeled bucket at the upper rim by a user; andat least two wheels mounted at the bottom portion of the integrally formed bucket about an axis, wherein the at least two wheels are positioned proximate to a bottom area of the back face, wherein the at least two mounted wheels are substantially located within recesses in the bottom portion of the integrally formed bucket, and wherein the positioning of the at least two wheels on the integrally formed bucket are configured so that, when the wheeled bucket is in a generally upright, freestanding position, the at least two wheels engage a ground surface so as to support the wheeled bucket,wherein the integrally formed bucket is configured for nested stacking, in the generally upright, freestanding position, of a second wheeled bucket that is substantially similar to the wheeled bucket, wherein the nested stacking occurs within the bucket interior, andwherein the wheeled bucket is configured to enable the user to incline the upwardly extending portion so as to tilt the wheeled bucket from (a) the generally upright, freestanding position to (b) a tilted rolling movement position, wherein the wheeled bucket is rollingly supported by the at least two wheels and the upwardly extending portion engaged by the user, thereby enabling the user to roll the wheeled bucket by pushing or pulling the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket in a desired direction. 2. The wheeled bucket according to claim 1, wherein the wheeled bucket is adapted to pivot about the axis between a first position and a second position, the wheeled bucket in the first position is disposed so that the bottom portion faces downward, and the wheeled bucket in the second position is disposed so that the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket faces downward, and a top edge of the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket is configured to allow for, while the wheeled bucket is in the second position, a sliding transfer of articles from the ground to the bucket interior via the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket. 3. The wheeled bucket according to claim 1, wherein side edges of the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket follow, at least partially, a contour of the substantially vertical walls of the bucket interior of the integrally formed bucket. 4. The wheeled bucket according to claim 2, wherein the wheeled bucket further comprises an arrangement adapted to serve as at least one support point when the wheeled bucket is in the second position. 5. The wheeled bucket according to claim 2, wherein at least a substantial portion of the upwardly extending portion of the wheeled bucket, when the wheeled bucket is in the second position, is substantially flush with the ground. 6. The wheeled bucket according to claim 4, wherein the the at least two wheels constitute the arrangement.
