ABSTRACT:
A lever-arm can crushing device comprising a base having a disposal opening extending therethrough, a lever arm hingedly secured to the base by a hinge such that the lever arm is movable between an open position and a closed position, a can support surface for supporting a can adjacent the disposal opening before crushing and a can engaging member on the lever arm for engaging the can as the lever arm is advanced from the open position to the closed position. As the lever arm is advanced to the closed position, the engaging member crushes the can and advances the center of gravity of the can from being vertically positioned over the support surface to over the disposal opening such that the can falls through the disposal opening when the lever arm is subsequently advanced to the open position. The can engaging member engages the can on an upper surface thereof on a side of the can upper surface closest the disposal opening. The lever-arm can crushing device is securable to a receptacle for storing the crushed cans.
