PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To crush empty beverage cans by using the rotation of a console door. SOLUTION: An empty can holder 20 in which an empty beverage can is set from above is provided near the end of a box body 1a on the side of the pivotally attached position of a console door 1b, and a pressure plate 11 for pressing the empty can set in the empty can holder is mounted at the end of a drive rod 10. A sliding pin 10b is provided at the other end, and a guide groove 13 for longitudinally slidably guiding the sliding pin 10b while the drive rod 10 can be rotated vertically using the sliding pin 10b as a fulcrum is provided on the back of the console door 1b. The guide groove is shaped so that the empty can be crushed by rotating the drive rod 10 vertically downwards at the open position of the console door 1b to cause the pressure plate 11 to abut a vertical end face of the empty can, and further lowering the drive rod 10 while sliding the sliding pin 10b relatively toward the pivotally attached position as the degree of opening of the console door 1b decreases.
