ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for crushing waste containers such as cans, oil filters, and the like. The apparatus includes a platform having a drain leading to a reservoir below the platform; a vertical support frame secured to the platform and having two spaced apart vertical columns joined together, near the top thereof, by a horizontal member; a hydraulic ram mounted on said horizontal member, a ram head secured to the lower end of the hydraulic ram adapted for downward and upward movement; and a compartment for receiving waste containers. The base of the compartment is secured to the platform and the sidewalls thereof are secured to the vertical support frame. The compartment has an opening for introducing a waste container onto the platform and removing the container after crushing and a piercing device for puncturing containers placed in the compartment. A hydraulic pump mounted on the platform and connected to the hydraulic ram causes upward and downward movement of the ram head.
