<p>A container (20) for transporting particulate matter which is initially in slurry form has a base (36) and a sidewall (22) portion extending upwardly therefrom and is characterized by a downwardly extending, integrally-formed peripheral drainage channel (40) having a drainage opening (32) at a normally lowest point therein. The container bottom (36) is configured to urge liquid from the slurry toward the channel (40), and the channel is configured to urge the liquid toward the drainage opening (32). The sidewall (22) portion defines an opening coverable by a lid. A liner (34) may be used to improve the drainage of the liquid from the slurry and from the container (20), and a plug (47) can be placed in the drainage (32) after liquid has drained from the slurry and the container (20). A supplemental elevating member can be utilized to elevate the slurry with respect to the channel. A method of use of the container is disclosed.</p> |
