An apparatus includes a container. The container includes one or more sidewalls and a base portion coupled to the one or more sidewalls, the base portion including at least one recess disposed in a bottom surface of the base portion, the at least one recess having a depth less than the thickness of the base portion. The apparatus also includes a platform. The platform includes a recess disposed in a top surface of the platform and having a depth less than the thickness of the platform, the recess dimensioned to receive at least the base portion. The platform includes at least one projection projecting from a recessed top surface within the recess disposed in the top surface of the platform. The at least one recess disposed in the bottom surface of the base portion is dimensioned to receive, and at least partially interlock with, the at least one projection.
