ABSTRACT:
A container cover (10) for use with different types of containers (C) such as garbage cans and storage receptacles. The cover includes a waterproof, stretchable material (12) fitting over the mouth (M) of the container, regardless of the size and shape of the mouth. The cover is sufficiently long so as to extend beneath handles (H) on the side of the container. Fasteners (20) are provided to secure the base (28) of the cover to the side (S) of the container, the cover having notches (22) for the container's handles to be easily grasped by someone wanting to lift or move the container. The portion of the cover extending over the mouth of the container includes an openable closure (30) which allows the user to place objects in the container when the closure is opened, and to keep them from being spilled or gotten at when the closure is closed.
