A manually operable device and a method for separating solid waste materi als from liquid to be disposed of through a drain, and for reducing the size of pieces of such solid waste materials for more efficient disposal through the drain. A size reduction assembly is manually movable with respect to a stationary body and may include perforated material for catching solid mater ial from a liquid flowing into the drain, and at least one cutting or rippin g or abrasion component for reducing the size of pieces of the solid materia l into smaller pieces that may then pass downward through the drain. In some embodiments the size reduction assembly may be driven downward by pressure from a hand or foot. The reduced-size pieces of material are flushed from th e device by liquid draining through the device.
