A combination cooler and can crusher is an apparatus assembly that allows a user to compact empty aluminum beverage cans for facilitated transport. The apparatus combines a cooler with an integrated wheel assembly with a can crushing mechanism. The integrated wheel allows a user to transport a large quantity of food and beverage items to an event. The can crushing mechanism provides the user to compact emptied aluminum beverages cans for facilitated transport upon leaving the event. The apparatus accomplishes both functions in a compact design by integrating the can crushing mechanism with the elongated handle of the cooler with integrated wheel assembly.
