Abstract
A device for collecting used paper containers is formed of a housing, and a volume reduction mechanism situated in the housing. The volume reduction mechanism squashes the paper containers in a falling passage extending from an inlet port of the housing to thereby reduce the volume of the paper container for efficient collection. The squashed paper container is discharged to a collection box.
