Collecting aluminum pop tabs is a fun and easy way to support the families staying at the Ronald McDonald Houses. Tabs are recycled, and the funds help families right here in our DC area.
100% of the money earned helps families stay at our Ronald McDonald Houses.
Pull tabs are easy to collect and store, and are less messy than collecting entire cans. Not to mention, there is more concentrated aluminum in Pull Tabs than in the cans, so we can get more money for something a lot smaller.
No need for any special containers, you can use everyday items as long as they’re sturdy, including:
Place your collection container in a visible spot that people visit often.
Get your friends, family, and community involved. If you’d like some free resources to share, contact [email protected]
You can also use this flyer to get the word out.
Every small act adds up.
