Abstract
This relates to a compactor for crushing aluminum containers of the type, for example, which contain soft drinks and certain alcoholic beverages. The empty container is placed between a first stationary plate and a second crushing plate. The crushing plate is coupled into a guide assembly and to a handle assembly. Lowering the handle assembly causes the crushing plate to be lowered, guided by the guide assembly, thus crushing the interposed aluminum container.
