Did i read that is what some people do?
Does it have to be a really good shredder to work?

Why crush or shred them? Local recycler takes them over the weighbridge, as is.
I would think a can bag full of chip would be too heavy to handle manually, bad enough with whole unsquashed cans.Was thinking to shred them to fit in big bags easier

Rarely have any spare, they get recycled on farm. They get used for holding nuts , bolts nails, or anything else loose floating around the workshop. As paint pots, scoops for cleaning water troughs. Waste oil containers. Spare bits of plastic for patching holes in something else.
Lost a tractor diesol tank fuel cap once. Found a spray container lid was the right size and thread.
They're too valuable to pay someone else to take them away.
Occasionally have had to hunt the yard hard, to track an empty one down, in an emergency.

Used to be free, now they charge £10 "administration fee". Still best way to get rid mind.I recycle the wetter and trace element cans etc. The caps from 15l cans fit on IBC's.
Local recycler has a few 'free days' when farmers can take in cans, fert bags etc and they go straight onto a wagon and away. It costs more to store the cans than they can charge, so this all gets done on one specific day.
I just fill a couple of spud seed bags and away they go.
