A can crusher includes a base, a handle pivoted to the base, crusher plates pivoted to the base and handle, and guide means to maintain the plates parallel. The crusher is made of slightly flexible plastics material, is assembled by snapping it together without separate fasteners, and is hollowed out for lightness and strengthened and rigidified with strategically placed ribs.
