Can & plastic bottle crusher

Options
I have been trying to find a can and bottle crusher.

I came across this little gizmo called plascan.

It crushes cans and plastic bottle to a quarter of the orignal size it's also made from recycled plastic. I've have this gizmo a couple of weeks now and I am really impressed with it.

    I have a wall-mounted pully thing for cans - this looks like it could be more fun, can you jump off a chair onto it?
  • LOL no not really. We don't want anyone getting hurt ;)

    But seriously, they are good. I used thses in the recycling project I worked for and they were easy to use, durable and easy to clean as well.

    The crusher came yesterday. It is great for cans but a bit fiddly for bottles. However once you get the hang of it it does a good job.
