clothes basket

Dirty garment receptacle

A clothes basket is a container for holding laundry—dirty clothes awaiting washing or clean clothes fresh from the line or dryer.

The term is interchangeable with laundry basket, though clothes basket sometimes suggests a wicker or traditional style: She carried the clothes basket out to the clothesline.
