A vertical can crusher of the type having a vertical standard carrying a cantilever head supporting a vertically movable crushing ram, and means for vertically actuating the ram reciprocatably relative to an upwardly facing worktable substantially spaced below the head and fixed relative to the standard, and comprising a vertical tubular can receptacle having its lower end separably supported on the work table and having its upper end open to receive a can therein and adapted to receive the ram for crushing the can against the worktable. Horizontal means attached to the receptacle and guided by the standard controls the receptacle for movement relative to the standard and the head between a first position operatively aligned under the ram so that a can placed in the receptacle is adapted to be crushed by the ram into a flattened disk, and a second position adapted for discharging the crushed can disk from the receptacle. A third position of the receptacle supported at its lower end on the worktable at a location intermediate the first and second positions adapts the receptacle for loading thereinto a can to be crushed.
