drip tray

Liquid spillage receptacle

A drip tray is a shallow container placed beneath something to catch liquid that falls or overflows.

Coffee machines have drip trays to collect spills.

Air conditioners use them for condensation.

In bars, drip trays sit under beer taps: Empty the drip tray before it overflows.
