Abstract
The present invention discloses a compactor for recyclable containers that uses gravity instead of brute force to compact recyclable containers. An upper section slides over a lower section. A recyclable container is placed on top of the lower section. The user applies his or her weight to the upper section. As the upper section approaches the lower section, the recyclable container is compacted.
