ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for compacting and storing cans comprises a device for crushing cans and storage and collection containers. The can crushing device comprises a ramming head and linear drive means for raising and lowering the ramming head to crush the cans. The cans are positioned upright, in open topped storage containers, beneath the ramming head. When lowered, the ramming head engages the tops of the cans and applies an evenly distributed force thereon so as to crush the cans with minimum bulging, preserving the tops and bottoms of the cans substantially intact. The storage containers are stackable, having upper and lower portions dimensioned to nest together to permit containers of crushed cans to be stacked and stored conveniently and securely.
