A selective collection system for recyclable containers comprising of a housing part, an input device, a material identification device, a sorting guide device, a shredding device, a compressing device, a collection part and a control device. The housing part cases internal component of the selective collection system. The input device is at the upper portion of a housing part and receives an input material laid horizontally on its side. The material identification device receives the input material from the input device and uses a pair of load cells and a metal detect sensor to transmit a signal to the control device, which categorizes the input material into a PET, an aluminum can, or other material based on the signal. The sorting guide device sorts and routes the input material received from the material identification device accordingly. The shredding device receives and shreds the input material received from the sorting guide device if the input material is identified as a PET bottle by the material identification device. The compressing device receives and compresses the input material received from the sorting guide device if the input material is identified as an aluminum can. Then shredded or compressed input material is deposited into the collection part, which includes a PET collection bin and an aluminum can collection bin. Other materials are deposited directly into the other materials collection bin, which is also included in the collection part. If the bins fill up, they can be taken out and emptied. The control device controls the overall operation of the selective collection system and comprises a display to display advertisements, messages and/or announcements.
