CAN CRUSHER

In keeping with BETA's commitment to reduce solid waste, we have contracted Art's Mobile Service and Steel Fabrication to develop a manual heavy duty can crusher for commercial and household use. Cans often account for up to 1/3 of the volume transported to land fills. The tins are not only bulky, but act as reservoirs for water, creating breeding habitats for mosquitoes and other health hazards.

The can crusher allows you to reduce the volume of tins by up to 80%; the flattened cans can then be buried in foundations of new buildings, pathways, or other construction projects you might have in progress, or taken to the land-fill greatly reduced in size.

It takes one person only five minutes a day to crush the number of tins produced by an average size hotel or restaurant. The crusher can handle tins from one-gallon down to the smallest with no problem.

BETA is encouraging all hotel owners and as many households a s possible to be a part of this initiative, and through their actions, persuade others to do their part in helping to make Belize greener and more environmentally sound. The crusher, made from 3/16 inch steel deck plate, with 5/8 inch stainless steel shafts, is fully guaranteed and ready to mount on any wall surface. it costs BZ$400.00, a one-time investment which will last for years.
