REMOVABLE WASTE CONTAINER FOR A SINK

摘要

A sink unit comprises a sink element (14) having a waste outlet (24) in communication with a drain inlet (30), and a removable waste container (16) for collecting solid waste and which is positionable beneath the sink element (14) and interposable between the waste outlet (24) of the sink element (14) and the drain inlet (30). The removable waste container (16) includes a solid base (44), a solid wall or walls (46), a waste inlet (48) which, when the container (16) is positioned beneath the sink element (14), is in communication with the waste outlet (24) of the sink element (14), and a waste liquid outlet (52) which is formed in the base and which is in fluid communication with the drain inlet (30). In use and with the removable waste container' (16) positioned beneath the sink element (14), liquid and solid waste moves from the sink element (14) to the removable waste container (16) and the liquid waste then drains through the waste liquid outlet to the drain inlet (30) leaving the solid waste in the container (16), and with the container (16) removed, liquid and solid waste moves from the sink element (14) to the drain inlet (30) without passing through the container (16).
