A volume reduction machine for crushing beverage containers has a pair of feed rolls and a pair of crusher rolls. The feed rolls in spaced relationship to a feed plate, urge containers to be crushed, while puncturing them. The feed rolls comprise a plurality of spaced feed discs and are aligned to overlap to ensure self cleaning. The crusher rolls comprise a plurality of closely-spaced discs. Spaces between discs slightly exceeding the thickness of the disc. The crusher rolls are offset such that the discs of one roll align with the spaces between discs of the other roll. The crusher rolls have an adjustable gap and are aligned with a lower edge of the feed plate. The discs forming the crusher rolls include circumferential notches of a given size and shape to deform plastic beverage containers beyond their modulus of elasticity thereby overcoming the problem of such containers springing back after crushing. An oscillating horizontal bar provides a debridging dejamming feature to the machine.
