Abstract
A housing includes spaced side walls and a top wall, with a front wall thereof defining a plurality of pivotally mounted doors providing access interiorly of the housing. An upper door plate is pivotally mounted above the door and between a forward edge of the top walls and the doors to provide access to a top wall pivoting plate mounting a can crusher and can opener to permit processing of various cans and their deposit within one of a plurality of pivoting door plates mounted rearwardly and hingedly within a top wall. Underlying replaceable bag members are mounted to receive the processed cans and other recycled material. A modification of the structure includes an aerosol apparatus automatically actuated upon downward projection of a pivoting door of the rows of pivoting doors positioned above the bags.

A recycling organizer apparatus, comprising,
- a housing, the housing including a right side wall spaced from and parallel a left side wall, a rear wall, a top wall, a floor, and a front wall defining the housing, the front wall including a respective right and left door pivotally mounted relative to the respective right and left side walls, and
- an upper, door plate pivotally mounted to the housing, with the upper door plate extending coextensively between the right side wall and left side wall orthogonally oriented relative to the right side wall and the left side wall, and
- a top wall pivot plate pivotally mounted to the top wall, with the top wall pivot plate including a pivot axle directed medially and longitudinally thereof, with the pivot axle oriented orthogonally relative to the right side wall and left side wall and parallel relative to the upper door plate permitting pivoting of the top wall pivot plate relative to the top wall, the top wall pivot plate including a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface including can processing means mounted to the top wall pivot plate bottom surface for permitting the selective grinding and crushing of can members, and
- the upper door plate pivotally mounted from a first position coplanar with the front wall extending from the right door and the left door to the top wall, and the upper door plate pivotally displaceable to a second position orthogonally oriented relative to the front wall to permit pivoting of the top wall pivot plate relative to the top wall, and
- the top wall further includes a row of pivoting door plates, each pivoting door plate pivotally mounted relative to the top wall, with the top wall including a rear edge defined by an intersection of the rear wall and the top wall, and the row of pivoting door plates hingedly mounted relative to the top wall adjacent the top wall rear edge, and a plurality of bag members, wherein a bag member of said bag members is positioned below a respective pivoting door plate of said pivoting door plates.
