ABSTRACT:
A device for crushing aluminum cans has a lid that can be engaged with a receptacle, and an aperture through which crushed cans can drop is formed in the lid. A housing is mounted on the lid, and the housing forms a channel. The housing has a closed surface positioned against the lid, an open side opposite the closed surface, and a closed end. An opening is formed through the closed surface and is juxtaposed with the aperture of the lid. A crushing plate is reciprocally disposed in the channel and can be moved toward the closed end of the aperture. When a can is to be crushed, it is laid on its side in the channel, and the plate is moved to axially compress the can against the closed end of the housing. When the can has been sufficiently compressed, it drops through the opening into the receptacle.
