A decorative receptacle, such as a wastebasket, comprises a two-piece receptacle body formed of a tubular sidewall member and a base member releasably connected to the bottom of the tubular member, and a decorative cover removably disposed on the receptacle body and encircling the tubular sidewall member. The tubular and base members are each onepiece, molded structures. The base member has an array of upstanding pins on its upper surface which frictionally fit in corresponding openings of the tubular sidewall member to releasably connect the two members together to form the receptacle body. The decorative cover has a tubular configuration and fits slidably over the outer surface of the tubular sidewall member. The opposite ends of the decorative cover are sandwiched between flanges at the top and bottom of the receptacle body. Upon manual detachment of the base member from the tubular sidewall member, the decorative cover can be slid axially off of the tubular member and removed for cleaning, repair or replacement.
