Liquid waste receptor

A strainer assembly for use with a floor waste receptor to separate captured liquid waste material from captured solids material selected from the group consisting of kitchen utensils, cooking accessories and other solids material, the floor waste receptor constructed to have vertical walls and a floor forming a well into which the liquid waste material and the captured solids material are collected and the liquid waste material is directed toward a drainage pipe extending downward from a drainage opening positioned in the floor, comprising:

• a. a sink drainage opening strainer assembly positioned to permit the liquid waste material to drain into the drainage pipe and to block the captured solids material from entering into the drainage pipe;
• and
• b. a basket strainer sized to fit in the well and over the sink drainage opening strainer assembly to permit the liquid waste material to pass through the basket strainer to the sink drainage opening strainer assembly, wherein the basket strainer comprises a plurality of walls that form the basket strainer, a perimeter flange affixed to and extending transverse to the plurality of walls, a raised lip affixed to and extending transverse to the perimeter flange, and at least one opening in the raised lip configured to allow liquid to enter or leave the basket strainer without overtopping the raised lip when liquid at the basket strainer reaches a predetermined depth.
