I suspect it be a waste of time as well. Given one or two cans can support a 40lb concret block. The fact most balers are only designed to apply a few hundred pounds of pressure at the plunger. And the number of cans that it gonna take to fill the bale chamber, Just isn't gonna happen.

I have, however, seen a home made can smasher. Fella had a pice of square tubing with a plunger powered with an electric motor. Mounted Horz, had 1" slot in the bottom the smashed can fell through into a box. It had a sleave that'd hold 6-8 cans. Even though it feed them in after each stroke, that sleave still had to fed by hand. Not real fast, still it smash up cans in a hurry. He'd take in $4-500 a month with it.
