The above-mentioned plunger 5 is a short-handled one, and has single part. Referring to Fig. 5, the hollow receiving portion 42 has a gripping unit 44 thereon, which is held in the holding room 21 of the outer container 2. The gripping unit 44 is used for firmly holding a second separable handle part 51 of a long-handled two-sectioned plunger FROM (MON)APR 9 2007 9:49/ST. 9;4810.6310677 465 P 5 5 in position, which second separable handle part 51 has been separated from a first handle part secured on a main body of the plunger 5 for making the plunger easy to store. And, the main body of the long-handled plunger 5 is received in the bearing plate 41 on an inner 5 side of the bottom of the outer container 2.

Referring to Fig. 6, a second preferred embodiment of a wastebasket (A) of the pxesent invention includes an inner container 1, an outer container 2, and a lid 3. The outer container 2 has a holding room 21 therein, and the inner container 1 is held in the holding room 21.

The lid 3 is disposed on top of the outer container 2 for covering the outer container 2. Ihe outer container 2 has a bearing and receiving device 4 thereon for receiving a plunger and a toilet brusb.

Refetring to Fig. 7, the bearing and receiving device 4 includes:

a bearing plate 46 positioned under a first one of the hollow detaining portions 45 on an inner side of a bottom of the outer container for receiving a plunger 5; and a receiving barrel 47 fitted to an inner side of a second one of the hollow detaining portions 45 for receiving a toilet brush 6.

The lid 3 has two gaps 31 corresponding to the first and the second hollow detaining portions 45 respectively. After a plunger 5 and a toilet brush 6 are received in the bearing plate 46 and the receiving barrel FROM (MON)APR 9 2007 9:49/ST. 9:48/N0,6310677465 P 6 47 respectively, their handle portions 51 and 61 will be partly held in the gaps 31 of the lid 3 respectively.

Referring to Fig. 8, a sectional view of the second preferred embodiment, the inner container 1 is held in the holding room 21 of the outer container 2, and a plunger 5 is received in the bearing plate 46 on the inner side of the bottom of the outer container 2, with a handle portion 51 thereof being partly held in the first hollow detaining portion 45 as well as one of the gaps 31 of the lid 3. Referring to Fig. 9, a toilet brush 6 is received in and supported by the receiving barrel 47, with a handle portion 61 thereof being partly held in the second hollow detaining portion 45 as well as the other one of the gaps 31 of the lid 3.
Thus, people are allowed to store, take and use the plunger 5 and the toilet brush 6 with ease, and foul water dripping from the plunger 5 and the toilet brush 6 won't flow out to hinder maintenance of hygiene.

Referring to Fig. 8 again, the receiving barrel 47 has hooked portions 471 on an outer side thereof, and the corresponding second hollow detaining portion 45 has holes 451 thereon; the hooked portions 471 are passed into the holes 451 to secure the receiving barre147 in the hollow detaining portion 451.

Referring to Fig. 10, the outer container 2 has connecting pieces 23 on an inner side thereof, and the bearing plate 46 has rail-shaped connecting protrusions 461, and is firmly fitted to the outer container 2 with the rail-shaped connecting protrusions 461 being joined to the FROM (MON)pPR 9 2007 9:49/ST. 9:48/N0,6310677465 P 7 ~
connecting pieces 23 of the outer container 2.

In addition, the lid 3 includes a pivotal cover part 32 right above the inner container 1; thus, waste can be easily put into the inner container 1. And, the inner container 1 has a handle part 11 for a user to carry the inner container 1 with ease, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6 The wastebasket can be made in such a way that the toilet brush and the plunger will be on a left side and a right side of the outer container respectively when stored. Or alternatively, the wastebasket can be made in such a way that the toilet brush and the plunger will be inside and on an outer side of the outer container respectively, as shown in the above figures.

Referring to Fig. 11, a third preferred embodiment of a wastebasket of the present invontion includes an inner container 1, an outer container 2, and a lid 3. The outer container 2 has a holding room 21 therein, and the inner container 1 is held in a holding room 21.
