What is a Pop Tab?
A pop tab is the piece of metal that opens aluminum cans. Like the can, the pop tab is recyclable. It is a small piece, yet a refundable piece.

Why Collect Pop Tabs?
All the collections add up to make a heartfelt impact in working together to provide a home-away-from-home for families during the medical treatment of their seriously ill children. Pop tabs are an easy way to recycle and help others and it is a task that people of all ages can do. These small pieces are a source of charitable revenue for the Ronald McDonald House. The amount of money received is determined by the weight of aluminum collected. Saving the tab is a simple and clean way of recycling for the House and it only takes a second. The dollars raised are used for operations and supplies for the Ronald McDonald House. Money received is not credited toward any medical treatment.
