An Australian company, BottleCycler, has developed a machine that crushes glass bottles, reducing the volume taken up by the bottles by 80%. Bottles are fed into the BottleCycler through an opening in the top of the device, which then quietly slices the glass into recyclable pieces. The glass falls into a garbage bin, which is picked up and emptied by BottleCycler. It also removes danger of staff injuries related with carrying, sorting and disposing of glass bottles, and reduces complaints about noise and broken bottles from residents living near clubs, bars and restaurants.

Looking for bottle crusher for bar/restaurant – wanted one that did plastic too if possible – sick of emptying 15 gallon jug three times a night on average
Saw a similar machine which appears to fit much better in a bar environment as it looks much lower and they have two separate models one for in bar and one for out the back which discharges directly into any size bin. Have a look here: http://www.glasscrushermachine.com
also look at http://www.bottlenecker.nl and or http://www.bottle-crusher.com/ for the original machine from which these are only copied. Everybody seams to want to make a cheap copy

Since when is stealing an idea called developping?
This idea is stolen from a dutch company Calibrator B.V.
Look at http://www.bottlenecker.nl
This is certainly not an idea of Bottlecycler, but a bad copy of the old type Bottlenecker. Even the shape looks the same.
In fact the bottlenecker won the Horecava Innovation award 2002
