The bin has a body comprising a reservoir for storing the materials and a handle for ease of handling the bin. A dispensing chute is connected, via a feed port, to the body and provides a holding chamber for measuring the quantity of material to be dispensed and may include a volumetric metering device. The bin may be agitated to assist transfer of the materials to the dispensing chute. To dispense the materials a dispensing mechanism comprising a manually depressed button actuates a stopper along one end of the dispensing chute to release a pre-measured quantity of material. A spout along the dispensing end of the dispensing chute may be provided to assist in funneling the dispensed materials into a desired container.
