Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Here’s your interesting fact for the day: recycling one aluminum can saves energy enough to run a television for three hours (thanks, History Channel).

If you live in a city with a good recycling program, you can probably just toss your cans into the recycle bin and let the garbage collectors worry about sorting and crushing, but if you’re in a rural area or a backwards city without a recycling program, you have to bag up your cans yourself and take them to a recycling center (where hopefully you’ll get paid enough to make the trip worth the time). The less space your cans take up, the more you can fit into a bag, and the fewer trips you need to make. That’s where can crushers come in.

Sure, you can do it the old fashioned way (flex those muscles and smash that puppy by hand), but it’s more efficient to get a can crusher. This automatic feed crusher can hold 6 cans at a time, feeding one after another into the crushing chamber. Cans are ejected after they’re smashed and if you position the tool right, you won’t even have to deal with touching the sticky crushed cans.

The crusher is $20 at Amazon, a price that should be paid back with your first couple trips to the recycling center.
