Abstract: An apparatus including a disposal conduit mounted in underlying relationship to a tray. The tray includes an entrance opening in alignment with the conduit, and wherein the conduit includes a lowermost terminal end and an arcuate chute mounted to the lower terminal end of the conduit and directed downwardly and forwardly of the conduit and positioned to deposit an associated can forwardly of a reciprocatable ram. The ram is coaxially aligned with a support chute, wherein the support chute includes a forward terminal end spaced from a side wall of a surrounding housing a distance less than one-half a predetermined length of the associated can. A can deposited within the support chute actuates a switch to energize the ram and accordingly crushes the can to subsequently deposit the can in underlying storage compartment of the housing.
