The invention discloses a manual gas portable zip-top can recovery and compression device. The device comprises a transverse hollow shell, the bottom of the transverse hollow shell is fixedly providedwith a mounting base plate through a supporting rod, and a plurality of bolt holes are formed inside the mounting base plate; and a piston compression space is formed in one side inside the transverse hollow shell, an air compression space is formed in the interior of the center of the transverse hollow shell, a compression groove structure is arranged at the top of the other side of the transverse hollow shell, and a first through hole communicating with one side of the transverse hollow shell and one side of the bottom of the piston compression space is formed inside the transverse hollow shell. The device is small in size, light in weight and convenient to carry, when the garbage is recycled, a zip-top can be compressed into the minimum size in time, therefore, the device is convenientto carry, and the effective utilization rate of the recovery space is improved; and in addition, the device utilizes the air as a compression medium, the functions of taking and discharging conveniently can be achieved, so that the practicability of the device is improved.
