Abstract
An aluminum can compacting device comprising a pair of side support members having a a first compacting plate situated therebetween. Rotatably affixed to the side support members are two handle lever members which, when rotated from a generally upwardly extending position to a downward position, cause a second compacting plate to move downwardly towards the first compacting plate thereby compacting an aluminum can located between them. The compacting plates may utilize at least one alignment rod. If so, one of the compacting plates would have feature an alignment rods and the other plate would be functionally adapted to be movable along the alignment rods. An improved handle is provided which is attached between the handle members such that it is rotatable within the receiving apertures, thus allowing the user's hand to firmly grasp the handle throughout the compacting cycle. With the improved handle of the present invention, there is no need for the user to re-position his or her hand or alter his or her grasp of the handle during the compacting cycle or even between consecutive or repeated compacting cycles.
