ABSTRACT:
The invention is basically a cooler that has been designed to eliminate the problems of what to do with the beer, pop or other beverage cans after they are empty. In the preferred embodiment of the invention an individual who has drank his beverage can from the cooler section of the invention just places his can in the crusher section of the invention and closes the lid. This crushes the can which falls with the help of gravity into a bin for storages. The bin can be emptied later so the individual can dispose of his can in an environmentally sound way. The invention has a cooler section which is a thermally insulated box like structure with a thermally insulated lid. Integrally attached to the cooler section is a can crusher section which is rectangular with a semi-circular bottom. The section has a ram that is attached to the lid of the can crusher section such that when the lid is closed the ram crushes the can against the end of the can crusher section. When the can has been crushed, the can drops into a bin also integrally attached to the can crusher section and the cooler section. This bin has a door for removing the crushed cans.
