That’s what the Ecopod E1 is designed for. It’s a household recycling center that simplifies the disposal and recycling of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Pop your container in the top and stomp on the foot pedal to hear the delicious sounds of crushing . Think of it as a miniature version of the Death Star’s trash compactor. There’s also an upper compartment for storing newspapers, glass bottles, and other non-crushable materials.
The compacted recyclables fall into a bin at the bottom which you can put out on your curb or return to your local recycling center/bottle redemption source. Me, I’m a sucker for anything with foot pedals.
