Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for crushing and storing a substance, in particular glass bottles. A first aspect of the invention provides apparatus for crushing bottles and storing the crushed remnant, so that the storage capacity of a bin is optimised. The apparatus includes a hopper for receiving a bottle; and a crusher connected to the hopper that passes crushed remnant into a storage bin. The storage bin fits in a space defined below the crusher. Ideally the storage bin has wheels, which are fitted with brakes. A second aspect of the invention provides a bin having strengthening ribs; which is reinforced, and is capable of carrying a payload in excess of 250 kg; so that the bin weight to fully loaded ratio is ideally 1:5 and preferably 1:6. This optimum ratio provides a total weight of bin and payload of between 300-350 kg. It has been shown that this weight can be lifted safely by most standard refuse collection wagons.
