Industries such as painting contractors, restaurants, restaurant supply companies, auto body and auto body suppliers and even bars across the globe have been looking for an affordable aluminum can crusher for the last 10-12 years have been on the hunt for a affordable commercial can crusher that will crush up to 5 gallon cans for under $2,500 US.

The main problem is most commercial can crushers take up to much space and cost a small fortune to ship and install. If they brake down it can

At home, crushing soda cans is probably not a major concern. Even if you go through a case or two a week, you can manage simply by stepping on them if need be. But, if you work in a high-volume food service establishment, clearly you need something more efficient and reliable. Imagine the cafeteria in a typical high school--clearly there are a huge number of cans every day that need to be crushed!

You may wonder why it is useful to bother crushing soda cans in such an environment. The fact i

Recycling is an important means of preserving our environment, and a good way of getting started is by recycling aluminum cans. In most cases (depending on where you live and what the laws are) the cans are collected in drop-off programs or at your curbside, and then cans are sorted, consolidated, and crushed. The crushed cans are then baled for transportation to a recycling facility which melts them down and converts the old aluminum into new products.

Recycling helps our environment by slowing down the rate at which we have to burn garbage or put it in landfills. Disposing of your garbage is becoming much more expensive, as Americans are producing more solid waste, landfills are filling up, and recycling programs are trying their best to keep up with the increase in waste generated per capita each year. Between the cost of renting dumpsters, the cost of having your garbage hauled, and increased taxes to deal with solid waste management, you`l

If there is one tool that is regularly overlooked by auto body technicians everywhere, it`s a quality can crusher. One of these useful machines can help you keep your costs down and your shop tidy. A large number of the liquids you use in fixing up and maintaining a car come in steel or aluminum cans. Paint, thinners, lubricants, hydraulic fluids: all of these things come in cans--cans that take up a lot of space in your garage`s trash cans and dumpsters.

Many businesses use a can crusher on their premises to lower their waste management bills and allow for easier recycling. The problem is that many of these crushers rely on mechanical force to work. In other words, they require the user`s strength to crush the cans--which only gets you so far.

At Bee Cool Manufacturing, we have created the Little Squeeze electric can crusher. And unlike many of the electric can crushers on the market today, the Little Squeeze is small enough to be portable (

Painting contractors can go through a ton of cans on any single job. Between the paint, the thinners and solvents, the tints, and everything else, many professional painters end up living their lives nearly buried in cans. Understandably, many of their clients don`t want the cans left in their trash, so the contractors are left to load them into their trucks and vans and drag them back to the shop or even to their homes.

All of this could be made easier if there were an easy way to crush the

Most waste hauling companies charge their clients by the size of their dumpster and the number of trips they make per week to empty it. Being able to cut back--either on dumpster size or scheduled trips--can decrease your business`s waste management costs significantly. One excellent way of doing this is by compacting waste products like cans that unnecessarily take up a lot of space.

There are a number of industries that use an incredibly high number of aluminum and other metal cans in their daily business. For example, restaurants open hundreds of cans a day, and house painters do, too. As the number of cans adds up, so does the amount of the waste that needs to be gotten rid of--in as efficient a manner possible.

Anyone who has painted a single room knows how much room paint cans take up in the trash. Now imagine dozens of them, both of the one gallon and five gallon s

Garbage isn`t something most Americans want to think about every day. Still, the ways we manage the nearly 230 million tons of it that are generated each year has huge implications for everyone. While America is making gains in the effort to reduce the amount of waste produced each year and to improve the way we deal with garbage, there is still work to do. And every American can help--starting with recycling.

Many towns and cities have residential recycling programs that allow us to have ou
