1. An epoxy container device for breaking into two halves thereby facilitating epoxy that has hardened to be discarded, said device comprising:
a bucket being comprised of a fluid impermeable material wherein said bucket is configured to contain a liquid epoxy, said bucket being vertically divided to define a first half of said bucket being removably attachable to a second half of said bucket, said first half being separable from said second half wherein said bucket is configured to enhance removing the liquid epoxy from said bucket when the liquid epoxy has hardened, each of said first half and said second half being comprised of a translucent material wherein said first half and said second half are configured to pass light thereby facilitating the liquid epoxy to be visible through said first half and said second half;
a plurality of first ribs, each of said plurality of first ribs being attached to said first half of said bucket thereby facilitating each of said plurality of first ribs to reinforce said first half;
a plurality of second ribs, each of said plurality of second ribs being attached to said second half of said bucket thereby facilitating each of said plurality of second ribs to reinforce said second half;
a base being removably attachable to said bucket when said first half and said second half are joined together;
a handle being removably attachable to said bucket thereby facilitating said bucket to be carried;
wherein said first half has an outer surface and an inner surface and a perimeter edge extending between said outer surface and said inner surface;
wherein said perimeter edge has a first lateral side and a second lateral side and a top side and a bottom side;
wherein said inner surface is concavely arcuate between said first lateral side and said second lateral side;
wherein said first lateral side has a first groove extending into said first lateral side;
wherein said first groove extends between said top side and said bottom side;
wherein said second lateral side has a second groove extending into said second lateral side;
wherein said second groove extends between said top side and said bottom side;
wherein said inner surface has a threaded portion being located adjacent to said bottom side and extending between said first lateral side and said second lateral side;
wherein said first half has indicia being applied to said outer of said first half; and
wherein said indicia comprise a line extending from said bottom side of said perimeter edge toward said top side of said perimeter edge wherein said line is configured to facilitate the volume of the liquid epoxy to be measured when the liquid epoxy is poured into said bucket.
