The main aim to make such a mechanical oriented project is to reduce the scrap volume and use it for recycle purpose properly. Even though there are many types of can crusher machine in the market, the completion of the new model provides a more practical usage than previous one. Swacha Bharat Abhiyan is a cleanliness campaign ran by the Government of India, which started on the 145th birth anniversary of the great person Mahatma Gandhi. The main aim of the project is to contribute towards the cleanliness drive. Initially the machine can accept only cans but with further modification it would be able to accept various other types of beverage containers too like plastic bottles. The machine would be installed at various locations like parks, malls, stadiums, bars and various public places. It has been observed that tin cans constitute significant part of garbage at public places. In order to recycle and process these cans, their collection and transportation is necessary. This paper talks about detailed design of a tin can crusher. Tin can crusher helps achieve 65% volume reduction and reduces transportation costs. It is compact in size and can be operated manually by hand. It will help to keep the earth neat and clean as the model is eco-friendly.
