Abstract
A funnel-drainer device for collecting waste liquids and the like is disclosed. The device comprises a continuous side wall defining a container having a vertical axis. The container has an inlet adapted to receive the liquid which inlet is disposed along the vertical axis, and an outlet which is disposed through the side wall of the container. A removable receptacle is selectively coupled to the container adjacent the outlet such that the waste liquid and the like flows through said inlet into said container and exits through the outlet into the receptacle. After the waste liquid has been collected, the receptacle is then removed and the liquid is disposed of in an ecologically acceptable manner.
