Just to reduce the size of the waste pile, was hoping to cram as much as possible into an open IBC.

Why not create some sort of compression device then? Heavy steel box about the size of a can on its side and maybe 4 foot tall, large baulk of timber as a compression device, use the telehandler with a bucket full of soil to squash the cans down. If you cut a few slots in the box and the baulk of timber you might ever be able to put some strings around the compressed pile while the weight was on and tie them into solid bales.

How big are the drums, 1l, 5l, 20l?
the cheapest {somewhat} way i can really think of is a second hand waste baler, an air type one {project opportunity maybe......} fill it up and crush it, you'd have to tie it with strapping as HDPE has a memory so will want to expand a fair bit, they might stay crushed enough to satisfy your requirements but better if they could be tied, they would want to fall out id guess so if there was maybe a 20ltr top n bottom it might do the job.
 
They have blades like a chopper rather than a chipper.
