Abstract: A covering assembly for waste containers and the like. The lid cover portion fits over the lid of the waste container. The body cover portion fits about and conceals the sides of the waste container which make up the body thereof with ends of the body member preferably overlapping one another and held securely in place by cooperating hook-type and loop-type fasteners, which, although being capable of being pealed apart, provide excellent shear strength. The lid and body cover portions are preferably made of the same material and are preferably the same color. The fabric has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and substantially completely covers the waste container whose appearance leaves something to be desired. The front surface of the body covering portion preferably has a pleasing graphic design together with a message, such as, “Welcome”, “Kids Zone”, “Merry Christmas”, and the like.
