First, don't do it in the sink.

An outside table and a hose work well.

If, for some reason you can't go outside, a big washtub can be
used to catch the soil, water, clippings, etc. Use a bathroom
faucet spray attachment to wash soil out of the roots -- while
holding the tree over the washtub.

Then, all you have to do is lug the washtub outside and dump it.

But doing it all outside on a bench, with a nearby hose, is best
all around.
