Abstract

A reservoir for discarded beverage liquids is affixed onto a vehicle, and accessed via a receptacle inside a vehicle. A vehicle's occupant discards beverage liquids into the receptacle which collects the liquid in a reservoir, and then a drainage tube allows those liquids to run out the undercarriage of the vehicle. Without stopping the vehicle, or opening the door or window, an occupant may conveniently and safely pour out and dispose of unwanted beverage liquids within the interior of a vehicle.
