Claim:
A debris catch assembly for use between a plumbing fixture and waste piping, said assembly comprising: an open-ended disposal flange having an upper portion suspended from the plumbing fixture and a lower portion; a reducing coupler having a top portion secured to said lower portion of said disposal flange and a bottom portion; an adaptor secured to said bottom portion of said reducing coupler; a pipe reducer secured to said adaptor, said pipe reducer having an interior shoulder; a first strainer having an elongated body, a top flange configured for engagement with said lower portion of said disposal flange and support of said elongated body when it is filled with debris, said first strainer also having side and bottom surfaces with fluid drainage openings therethrough; and a second strainer with a bent handle, side and bottom surfaces with fluid drainage openings therethrough, and a bottom surface configured for support of said strainer when it is filled with debris upon said interior shoulder of said pipe reducer, whereby when said disposal flange is suspended from a plumbing fixture, said reducing coupler is secured to said disposal flange, said adaptor is secured to said reducing coupler, said pipe reducer is secured to said adaptor, and said second strainer is inserted through said adaptor until said bottom surface of said second strainer becomes supported by said interior shoulder of said pipe reducer, said first strainer can then be lowered through said disposal flange until said top flange of said first strainer becomes supported by said lower portion of said disposal flange, and further when said first strainer becomes positioned directly above said second strainer and collects waste fluid debris, and when said first strainer becomes clogged with debris and is lifted upwardly through said disposal flange for cleaning, said second strainer remains supported by said pipe reducer where it can collect waste fluid debris and keep it from entering connected waste piping.
