A collapsible container for collecting and disposing of valuable materials, salvage material, garbage or the like, including two container sections, such as shells, which are divided along a common closing plane and are connected to one another at their upper side by hinges aligned parallel to the closing plane so that they can be unfolded. Each container section or each shell has, offset to the axis of the hinges, at the upper side hooking elements, with which power-driven hooks of a suspended cross arm, disposed at a crane boom or the like, can be coupled for lifting as well as for controlling the opening and closing process. A bulkhead wall, which is disposed between the opening sides of mutually adjacent container sections or shells, can be locked in its closed position at or in front of the opening side of the one container section or the one shell, and can be converted, in at least one forced-apart position of these container sections or shells by an actuator from the locked position, into an unlocked position. The container section or shell, at which the bulkhead can be locked, contains a partition directed transversely to the bulkhead wall, that each bulkhead wall, and the bulkhead wall consists of two bulkhead wall parts, the dividing joint of which coincides with the partition plane, and both bulkhead wall parts, independently of one another, can be locked together or unlocked from the container section or the shell.
