How much laundry does the 1.5-bushel basket hold?

About 14 gallons, roughly two to three average loads. That is enough for one person's weekly laundry.

Yes. Empty baskets nest and stack, which helps in closets and dorm rooms. A full basket should not have another stacked on top.

No. It is an open basket with an oval hole pattern, so contents stay visible and dust can settle in.

What are the dimensions?

It is 44.1 cm deep and 17 inches wide, with a height of about 10 inches. Check your closet or car space against those figures.

Is $57.99 a good price?

That is the only new price listed, at eBay as of November 8, 2026, so there is no lower recent price to compare. Sterilite baskets of this size usually sell for far less at big-box stores, so compare before buying.

Can it be used for anything besides laundry?

Yes. The open rectangular design works for toy storage, recycling or carrying cleaning supplies.

Our take on the Sterilite Laundry Basket Rectangular

The Sterilite Rectangular Laundry Basket is a basic plastic hamper with a 1.5-bushel (about 14-gallon) capacity, contoured grip handles and a stackable shape. The oval hole pattern lets air move through, which helps damp clothes dry rather than mildew. It is a plain, inexpensive workhorse rather than a design piece. The best new price is $57.99 at eBay as of November 8, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is no meaningful recent range to compare against.
