Claim:
A method of controlling concrete washout disposal from a vehicle, comprising: providing a portable, constructed concrete washout container with a constructed housing that comprises a bottom floor, two opposite ends, two opposite sides extending between the ends, a substantially open and uncovered top, and a ramp assembly that is attached to said concrete washout container in a manner that allows the vehicle to drive up the ramp assembly and dump a volume of concrete washout material in a hardening condition during a washout process directly from the vehicle and into the concrete washout container through the top when the top is substantially open and uncovered; delivering the portable, constructed concrete washout container to a site; collecting the volume of concrete washout material in the hardening condition into the concrete washout container during a washout process from the vehicle driven up on the ramp assembly attached to said concrete washout container; servicing said concrete washout container in response to usage at said site by removing excess water from said concrete washout container and hauling away said excess water; allowing the volume of concrete washout material to harden into a substantially hardened condition within the container; and picking up said portable, concrete washout container from the site with the collected volume of concrete washout material in the substantially hardened condition within the concrete washout container.
