The bottom dumping wheelbarrow 10 includes a wheelbarrow 20 having a support frame 22, a hopper-shaped upper member 24 disposed atop the support frame 22, a pair of handles 26 attached to and rearwardly extended from the support frame 22, and a plurality of wheels 28 attached to and downwardly extended from the support frame 22. The plurality of wheels 28 is optionally four. The hopper-shaped upper member 24 has a front side 30, a rear side 32, a right side 34, a left side 36, an open top side 38, and a bottom side 40. A door 42 is medially disposed within the bottom side 40 of the support frame 22.

(8) The bottom dumping wheelbarrow 10 further includes a single continuous control handle 44 having a lower linear portion 46 and an upper handle member 48 medially extended outward from the rear side 32 of the hopper-shaped upper member 24 of the wheelbarrow 20. The lower linear portion 46 is medially and pivotally attached to a bottom surface 50 of the support frame 22 of the wheelbarrow 20 and affixed to the door 42. The door 42 has an open position and an alternate closed position. The door 42 is in the open position when the single continuous control handle 44 is rotated to a position substantially parallel to the bottom side 40 of the hopper-shaped upper member 24 of the wheelbarrow 20, and the door 42 is in the closed position when the single continuous control handle 44 is medially disposed adjacent to the rear side 32 of the hopper-shaped upper member 24 of the wheelbarrow 20. A material 52 disposed within the hopper-shaped upper member 24 of the wheelbarrow 20 is releasable through the door 42 when the door 42 is in the open position.
