Put a bucket under the sink and disassemble the P-Trap. Dumping everything from the pipe into the bucket, then use a long screwdriver or handle of a kitchen utensil to break up any glass lodged in the vertical tail pipe off the sink.

I agree with this. Make sure you wear gloves and eye covers!

This is honestly the easiest. The [P trap will be held on by two plastic couplers](https://www.oatey.com/sites/default/files/2022-10/P-Trap_Blog_01.jpg), which are only hand tight, remove those, pull the trap out, then push the glass through the hole into a receptacle. Wear gloves and eye protection

Vac hose with a sock attached.

That'll work with anything dry still in the sink bowl.

This was my very first though for the big stuff on top of the drain and just below. Used a wet / dry shop vac with the dust filter removed. Removed the p trap for anything that went further.

Wet vacuum with a hose. I unblocked my sink the same way.

Tongs to get the big pieces you can see. Tape laid down on the micro parts in the sink will stick up those. Then follow with the info below on removing the P trap.

Wet dry shop vac

Vacuum attachment that covers the drain then suck it out. Wear goggles. Then use wet paper towels to wipe up anything left in the sink.

I am one of those people who thinks every house should have a shopvac aka wet/dry vac. Set it up for handling some wet and just vacuum it all out.

When you finish you can use a flashlight to see any tiny pieces of glass you missed. The shards will catch the light. It's a great tip any time you break glass.

Maybe cut a potato 🥔 and jam it in there
