A construction material transport container includes four side doors that form substantially all of two side walls of the container. The container includes transversely disposed forklift pockets that can be used to load the container onto a flatbed truck. With the container on a truck and the side doors open, new construction materials can be loaded onto the container from both sides. Both the container and the new materials can be delivered to a job side by a single delivery using a truck-attached forklift. The empty container can then be used as a receptacle for recyclable materials. The container further includes roll-off or hook lift vehicle tracks configured so that the container can be picked up and hauled to a recycling or refuse center. A rear door of the container can be opened so that the container can be tilted by the vehicle to offload the used material.

The container of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of side doors has a swinging end opposite a hinged end, and wherein for at least one set of two of the plurality of side doors: the two side doors are positioned on opposite sides of the container when the two side doors are in a closed position, andthe swinging ends of the two side doors are configured to interleave when the two side doors are swung to an open position over the floor. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the plurality of side doors comprises four side doors, and wherein two of the four side doors are positioned on opposite sides of the base frame assembly from another two of the four side doors when the four side doors are in a closed position. 4. The container of claim 1, wherein the base frame assembly further comprises a plurality of cable attachment points configured for lifting the container from overhead. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein each of the forklift pockets further comprises at least one pass-through passing through one of the tracks and permitting passage of a forklift blade through the track. 6. The container of claim 1, further comprising a coupling bar configured to be grasped by a hook lift transport vehicle in order to load the container on the hook lift transport vehicle. 7. The container of claim 6, further comprising a cable hook configured to be grasped by a winch cable in order to load the container upon a roll-off transport vehicle. 8. The container of claim 7, further comprising a cable hook housing integrated into the front wall. 9. The container of claim 1, further comprising at least one interior door hinged to the base frame assembly, the at least one interior door configured to swivel orthogonally to the floor and configured to divide the container into a plurality of interior spaces. 10. The container of claim 1, further comprising four bottom stacking couplings positioned on a bottom side of the base frame and four top stacking couplings each positioned on or above one of the two side walls, the bottom stacking couplings and the top stacking couplings configured to be aligned and received by top stacking couplings and bottom stacking couplings respectively of other similarly configured containers, to support stacking of multiple material transport containers atop one another. 11. The container of claim 1, wherein each of the side doors comprises a panel section, wherein the panel section is formed from a rigid composite material that is not primarily metal. 12. The container of claim 11, wherein the floor is formed from the rigid composite material, and wherein the rigid composite material is fiberglass reinforced polymer. 13. The container of claim 1, wherein the base frame assembly further comprises four upright sections extending upwardly from the base frame orthogonal to the floor, wherein the side doors and the at least one rear door are each hinged to one of the four upright sections. 14. The container of claim 13, wherein each of the four upright sections comprises a lift cable attachment point at a top end of the upright section. 15. The container of claim 13, wherein each of the four upright sections is formed from an I-beam section, and wherein each of the four upright sections comprises a top end portion configured to be aligned with and received by bottom stacking couplings of other similarly configured containers to support stacking of multiple material transport containers atop one another. 16. A material transport container comprising: a base frame assembly comprising: a floor for supporting contained materials, anda base frame configured for supporting the floor, the base frame comprising two longitudinally disposed tracks configured for receipt upon a transport vehicle, anda front wall extending upward from and perpendicular to the floor and extending inward from each of two sides of the base frame assembly towards the other of the two sides of the base frame assembly;two pairs of side doors hinged to the base frame assembly, configured to swivel orthogonally to the floor and to open by at least swinging inward over the floor, and positioned on opposite sides of the container, wherein each pair of side doors extends along an opening of at least two thirds of a length of a side of the container when the side doors are in a closed position, and wherein the two pairs of side doors on opposite sides of the container are configured to be opened and secured over the floor such that the container can be moved while providing an open path for visual sight from one side through and past an opposite side of the container, wherein the open path extends widthwise along at least a majority of the opposite side; andone or more rear doors hinged to the base frame assembly, the one or more rear doors configured to swivel orthogonally to the floor and to form substantially all of a rear wall of the container when in a closed position, wherein each rear door is disposed above and orthogonal to, when in a closed position and when viewed from a rear elevation view of the container, at least one of the tracks. 17.
