a one-piece plastic molded hamper body that has a rear portion, a front portion, a left side, a right side, an open top, and a bottom, where there is a first bottom rear corner at an intersection of the rear portion, the bottom and the left side, and there is a second bottom rear corner at an intersection of the rear portion, the bottom and the right side; and

first and second wheel indentations located on a lower part of the rear portion, each wheel indentation having an axle retaining assembly, the assembly comprising:

a pair of axle retaining saddles separated by an opening, each saddle comprising two opposing saddle portions; and

an axle stop adjacent to each pair of saddle portions, opposing the opening, and extending between the saddle portions; and

a wheel with an axle around which an exterior surface rotates, the surface having a width;

wherein one wheel is removably coupled to the each of the axle retaining assemblies;

wherein the axle stops prevent the lateral movement of each axle, allowing an alternate wheel with an alternate width to be utilized within the opening between each pair of axle retaining saddles; and

wherein the entirety of each axle retaining assembly is located within each respective first and second wheel indentation.

2. The rolling hamper of claim 1 , wherein the hamper body further comprises a reinforced top rim that defines an upper edge of the rear portion, front portion, left side and right side.

3. The rolling hamper of claim 2 , wherein the rear portion comprises a lower part and an expanded upper area, and the hamper body further comprises handle openings adjacent to the top rim of the rear portion and both sides.

4. The rolling hamper of claim 3 , wherein the hamper body further comprises one or more ribs located on each side of the handle openings in the sides, to provide additional strength when the hamper is lifted by the handles.

5. The rolling hamper of claim 1 , wherein the rear portion, front and side portions are inwardly tapered at a draft angle, so that multiple hampers can be nested one inside another.

6. The rolling hamper of claim 5 , further comprising at least one protrusion on the bottom portion and extending upward toward the open top in order to support a nested hamper.

7. The rolling hamper of claim 6 , wherein the protrusions are inside the hamper body at corners of the sides the front and the bottom.

8. The rolling hamper of claim 1 , wherein the rear portion comprises a top section that extends above the front and sides.
