Abstract: A multipurpose container has a bucket supported above the floor by a skirt. The skirt extends from the upper edge of the bucket down and out, so the skirt provides a good base for the bucket, with the bucket suspended centrally of the skirt. Slots are provided in the skirt as handholds, and a bail is optionally received on the bucket to provide dual lifting handles. The lower edge of the skirt may receive casters, either directly, or on a platform that is fixed to the skirt. A drain in the bottom of the bucket can receive a drain hose, knockouts being provided to open the bucket, and to allow the drain hose to pass through the skirt.
