An explosion resistant waste container ( 10 ) includes an outer open-topped container ( 16 ). The outer open-topped container ( 16 ) is sized to receive an inner open-topped container ( 12 ) and leave a space therebetween. Both the outer open-topped container ( 16 ) and the inner open-topped container ( 12 ) are cylinders made of sufficiently strong materials, e.g. 11 gauge steel, for withstanding the forces of an explosion. A reinforcing material ( 14 ), e.g. reinforced concrete, is disposed within the space between the outer open-topped container ( 16 ) and the inner open-topped container ( 12 ). The outer open-topped container ( 16 ) and the reinforcing material ( 14 ) reinforce the inner open-topped container ( 12 ) so as to provide greater resistance to deformation caused by explosions and to shield surrounding persons and property from the explosive forces.
