5428 CAN CRUSHER Abstract of the Disclosure A compacting device for crushing aluminum beverage containers to render them more readily storable and trans- portable to salvage facilities. The device comprises a housing with a side opening for receiving an empty container, an open end aligned with a movable piston actuated by a link- age controlled by a hand lever, and a closed end supporting a pivotal anvil. The can is initially crimped as it is inserted through a narrowed portion of the side opening to help start its axial crushing when engaged by the piston. When the can is fully collapsed, the anvil pivots to eject the can from a lower opening in the housing. The device is preferably constructed from a strong, light, plastic material and can be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position.
