The environment is a hot issue at the moment, if you will excuse the pun. Despite the best efforts of most Governments around the world in drafting the Kyoto treaty and other environmental legislation, we as a species are still polluting our planet at a dreadful rate.

In Britain, with our paltry recycling facilities and cultural abhorrence for sorting through our rubbish and separating it before throwing it away, the vast amount of our domestic effluence makes its way into landfills. That’s right – your sacks of empty cans, hastily collected after the latest party, or, if you are the non-drinking type, perhaps from the kerbs and verges of your neighbourhood (though perhaps if this is the case, you are not best suited to be visiting a site called barfly.com? Just a thought…) still filled with air, are dumped into great big holes in the ground. Can you imagine how quickly those six-packs fill up the available space?

We are sitting, literally, on the biggest, emptiest off-licence in the country. While only a partial solution, we can go some way to helping. With this can crusher, you can squeeze the air out of those tinnies before chucking them away, vastly reducing the space they take up. Not only will you be helping the environment, but it will mean less emptying of your dank, smelly dustbin as well. Do the right thing – buy a can-crusher today!

Please note: Unfortunately the can crushers will only compress drink cans.
