What is claimed is: 1. A waste container comprising: an outer container; and an inner container removably mounted in the outer container, with the inner container comprising: a body and first and second handles, with the body of the inner container including a peripheral wall having an inner periphery delimiting an opening, with the peripheral wall including first and second engaging sections on first and second opposite portions of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall respectively, with the first and second handles each having first and second ends pivotally coupled to the first and second engaging sections respectively, with the first and second handles each further having an intermediate portion between the first and second ends, wherein the intermediate portion of each of the first and second handles has a curvature corresponding to an associated portion of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall, with the first and second handles being pivotable to an upward position allowing carriage of the inner container, with each of the first and second handles being pivotable to a resting position, wherein the first and second handles extend in opposite directions from each other when in the resting position, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles engage the associated portion of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall when the first and second handles are in the resting position to clamp a peripheral edge of a bag against the inner periphery of the peripheral wall when the first and second handles are in the resting position. 2. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first and second engaging sections are formed on an upper end of the peripheral wall. 3. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the first and second engaging sections includes an elongated projection extending in a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the peripheral wall. 4. The waste container as claimed in claim 3, wherein the inner container further includes first and second coupling members respectively mounted to the first and second engaging sections, each of the first and second coupling members including a longitudinal groove allowing each of the first and second coupling members to slide along an associated one of the first and second engaging sections until an end wall delimiting the longitudinal groove of the one of the first and second coupling members comes into contact with a top end of the associated one of the first and second engaging sections. 5. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the first and second engaging sections includes a transverse hole extending through the peripheral wall, the inner container further including first and second coupling members respectively mounted to the first and second engaging sections, each of the first and second coupling members including a transverse hole aligned with the transverse hole of the associated one of the first and second engaging sections, with the inner container further including two fasteners and two nuts, each of the two fasteners extending through the transverse hole of an associated one of the first and second engaging sections and the transverse hole of an associated one of the first and second coupling members and to engage with an associated one of the two nuts, and fixing the associated one of the first and second coupling members to the associated one of the first and second engaging sections. 6. The waste container as claimed in claim 5, wherein each of the first and second coupling members includes two pivotal holes, wherein the first and second ends of the first and second handles are pivotally coupled to an associated one of the two pivotal holes. 7. The waste container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the transverse hole of each of the first and second coupling members includes a stepped portion for accommodating a portion of the associated one of the two nuts. 8. The waste container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the longitudinal groove of each of the first and second coupling members is defined in a side of the associated one of the first and second coupling members. 9. The waste container as claimed in claim 8, wherein the transverse hole of each of the first and second coupling members includes a stepped portion for accommodating a portion of the associated one of the two nuts, and wherein the stepped portion and the longitudinal groove of each of the first and second coupling members are located on two opposite sides of the one of the first and second coupling members. 10. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the body of the inner container includes a peripheral end edge adjacent to the first and second engaging sections, with the peripheral end edge delimiting the opening. 11. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the first and second engaging sections is integrally formed on the inner periphery of the peripheral wall. 12. The waste container as claimed in claim 11, wherein each of the first and second engaging sections includes two pivotal holes, wherein the first and second ends of the first and second handles are each pivotally coupled to one of the two pivotal holes. 13. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the inner periphery of the peripheral wall has a peripheral wall radius, with the intermediate portions of the first and second handles each having an intermediate portion radius, with the intermediate portion radius being generally equal to the peripheral wall radius. 14. The waste container as claimed in claim 13, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles engage the inner periphery of the peripheral wall at points where the peripheral wall delimits the opening. 15. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the opening has a first portion symmetrical to a second portion, wherein the first handle has a shape corresponding to the first portion of the opening and the second handle has a shape corresponding to the second portion of the opening, with the first and second handles being of identical shape and size. 16. The waste container as claimed in claim 15, wherein the first and second portions of the opening each has a continuous arcuate shape, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles abut in their entirety respectively the continuous arcuate shapes of the first and second portions of the opening. 17. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first and second handles are contained in their entirety in the inner container when the first and second handles are in the resting position. 18. The waste container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles are spaced from the peripheral wall and extend parallel to each other when the first and second handles are in the upward position. 19. The waste container as claimed in claim 18, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles abut each other when the first and second handles are in the upward position. 20. A waste container comprising: an outer container; an inner container removably mounted in the outer container, with the inner container comprising: a body and first and second handles, with the body of the inner container including a peripheral wall having an inner periphery delimiting an opening, with the peripheral wall including first and second engaging sections on first and second opposite portions of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall respectively, with the first and second handles each having first and second ends pivotally coupled to the first and second engaging sections respectively, wherein the first engaging section removably receives the first end of the first and second handles, with the first and second handles each further having an intermediate portion between the first and second ends, wherein the intermediate portion of each of the first and second handles has a curvature corresponding to an associated portion of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall, with the first and second handles being pivotable to an upward position allowing carriage of the inner container, with each of the first and second handles being pivotable to a resting position, wherein the first and second handles extend in opposite directions from each other when in the resting position, wherein the intermediate portions of the first and second handles engage the associated portion of the inner periphery of the peripheral wall when the first and second handles are in the resting position; and a bag having a peripheral edge, with the bag being removeably mounted in the inner periphery of the inner container, wherein the peripheral edge of the bag is clamped against the inner periphery of the peripheral wall by the intermediate portions of the first and second handles when the first and second handles are in the resting position.
