A device for reducing the volume of empty cans and bottles comprises a housing having one open side to receive a can or bottle, two retaining plates and a slot extending centrally and substantially the length of two opposing sides of the housing, two pins extending through a box shaped ram and through both slots in the sides of the housing, and a lever having two arms each connected to an end of one of the pins by a linkage wherein moving the lever results in sliding movement of the ram along the slots. By moving the lever, a can or bottle placed within the housing will be crushed between one plate and the ram to significantly reduce its volume. |
