Our idea is to create a personal plastic bottle shredder that could be used instead of taking the bottles to a store to return them. The bottles would be put into a machine that would sit on top of a regular sized recyling bin or trash can. After the bottle is put in, it would be shred or ground into tiny pieces that would fall into the container. Just put the container out with your regular garbage as if you were putting out normal bottles and the recycling company will take it away. An advantage to shredding the bottles is that the volume is greatly reduced so you don't have huge bags of bottles sitting in your garage. Or, to receive payment for your bottles you could take them to a store and they would put it on a scale and you would recieve money based on the weight of your plastic. Check out these examples, they are similar to what we want to do but they are on a larger scale :[|jug shredder][|tank shredder][|Plastic Shredding Company][|Large Scale Industrial Shredders][|Environmental Friendly Recycled Plastic][|Plastic Lumber Products]

[|This shredder will be produced in different sizes being able to fit almost any of these garbage cans.] <- This one's pretty sweet...

Imagine all of these bottles being shredded up into a small cube, better for you and the earth. With the cubes being picked up by the local garbage company you wouldn't have to run back and forth to the store to deposit the cans. This gives you more time and space to do what you want. The only thing that you'll have to give up is staring at that growing pile of bottles in your basement or garage.

These cylinders would be all thats left of the plastic shreds after the garbage trucks dumps them off to be recycled.
