pop tabs

Buddy asked me were to turn in pop tabs??

McDonalds does that all the time. The tabs (1#=.50) go to the Ronald McDonald houses near major Children's hospitals all across the u.s. where parents can stay while their children are in the hospital. I feel guilty that I don't have the time...or don't take the time to take them off.

How does one go about donating them?

It is a noble thing you want to do, but the pop can tabs for charity was an unfortunate rumor. Ronald McDonald House will accept them, and thank you, because they figure people worked hard to collect the can tabs because of the rumour. However, they do NOT get more than scrap value for them. So, it would would be more worthy to just donate the little money the tabs are worth. A million pull tabs makes the charity about $366, or put another way, a hundred tabs makes them 3 and a half cents.

When they were coming around for donations to schools in the early '90s and I was in Elementary school my dad was saving them for quite sometime. They had a pizza party at the end of the month for the winning class. I had brought in 16lbs of can tabs, needless to say my class won the pizza party. Later come to find out I brought in more tabs then the rest of the school collected together.

I shake my head & wonder how many Kgs of cans got thrown out just so someone can save the tabs?

I have seen a two page spread in a newspaper appealing for can tabs. They would have got more money if they just sold the advertising space.....
