Abstract
A beverage garbage can includes an enclosure having a top opening, a compression plate movable between a disengaged position and a compression position in which it closes the opening, a piston situated facing the opening and under the compression plate, the piston being mounted to move along an axis between a low position, an ejection position, and a high position, an ejector for engaging a container resting on the piston in the ejection position, to push it sideways to cause it to drop off the piston, and controlled motor means for successively causing the compression plate to close after a container has been inserted into the opening, causing the piston to rise so as to compress the container against the plate, causing the piston to be lowered to its ejection position, and causing the container to be ejected.
