A refuse container includes a plurality of walls defining an interior for containing refuse and a discharge opening and a refuse discharge guide adjacent the discharge opening. The refuse discharge guide moves between a first position in which the guide extends away from the opening into the interior for loading refuse and a second position in which the guide extends away from the opening underneath the interior for funneling refuse during unloading.
