A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers is provided which includes a hollow primary container, a top protector complementally configure to fit atop the primary container, and at least one retainer coupled to the top protector for holding a secondary container. The primary container has a circumscribing upright sidewall and an opening configured for receiving material to be stored in the container. The top protector includes a side wall and at least a pair of spaced-apart opposed risers, most preferably provided as one of four corner modules, the risers extending upwardly from the primary container above the opening and presenting a gap between the risers which is sized and configured for receiving the secondary container. Several retainers can be provided, either to hold the secondary containers in different gaps, or provided in tandem to hold two secondary containers adjacent to one another in or proximate a single gap.

1. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers comprising: a hollow primary container having a circumscribing upright sidewall and an opening configured for receiving material to be stored in the container;a top protector complementally configured with the primary container for fitting therewith atop the primary container, said top protector including a side wall and at least a pair of spaced-apart opposed risers extending upwardly from the primary container above the opening and presenting a gap therebetween;at least one retainer coupled to each of said pair of spaced-apart opposed risers and positioned interiorly of said side wall, said retainer being located and configured for holding a secondary container atop the primary container; anda base complementally configured for receiving and supporting said primary container thereon and configured complemental to said top protector whereby a plurality of protection and containment systems can be stacked;wherein said risers and side wall of said top protector and said retainer are located and configured to permit nesting of a secondary container in a gap between the risers and adjacent an interior surface of the side wallwherein the primary container includes a bottom wall, a top wall, and wherein the sidewall is configured complemental and in substantial vertical registry with a generally rectangularly configured side wall of the base so as to extend upwardly therefrom when the primary container nests with and is supported by the base, the top wall of the primary container being configured with four corner sections separated by a pair of intersecting channels, each of said channels having a substantially planar floor and a pair of opposed, upright channel walls,wherein each of the corner sections includes a corner shelf and a pair of side shelves,the system further comprising at least one secondary container held by said retainer in the gap between said risers and sized whereby no part of said secondary container extends upwardly beyond a top rim of said top protector, andwherein said side wall of said top protector includes a plurality of downwardly extending lugs sized and configured to be received into channels provided in the primary container with the lugs resting on the planar floors of the primary container. 2. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 1, wherein the primary container is molded of synthetic resin. 3. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 2, wherein the top protector is molded of synthetic resin. 4. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 1, wherein the side wall of top protector substantially in vertical alignment with circumscribing upright sidewall of the primary container. 5. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 4, wherein the top protector is configured to permit access to the opening of the primary container. 6. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 1, wherein the retainer is coupled to the risers by threaded fasteners. 7. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 6, wherein said risers include metal anchors molded into the risers, and wherein the retainer is coupled to the risers by threading the threaded fasteners into the anchors. 8. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 6, wherein the retainer includes a metal strap. 9. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 6, wherein the retainer includes a nylon strap. 10. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 6, wherein the retainer is of an elastomeric material. 11. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 1, wherein the top protector includes a plurality of corner modules, said risers being provided as part of said corner modules wherein two risers of any corner module are generally perpendicular to one another and lie generally parallel to and opposite one riser of an adjacent corner module, the corner modules being connected by said lugs, said lugs including a part of said interior surface of said side wall. 12. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 11, wherein each of said corner modules includes a corner foot sized and configured to rest atop a corresponding corner shelf of the primary container. 13. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 12, wherein each of said corner modules includes a top surface which includes a substantially planar corner deck, and wherein said base includes a plurality of legs, the legs being sized and configured whereby the legs of the base of one corner system may each rest atop a corner deck of a top protector of a second protection and containment system for co-packaged containers when two such systems are stacked one atop the other. 14. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 13, wherein said top surface also includes an upwardly extending rim which extends upwardly above said corner deck and above a top edge of the lugs. 15. A protection and containment system for co-packaged containers as set forth in claim 14, wherein first and second retainers are provided, each connected by a threaded fastener to a respective one of said anchors, and wherein said second retainer having a greater length extending between anchors than said first retainer.
