Donate Pop Tabs To Ronald McDonald House Charities
One of the easiest ways to give back is to donate pop tabs to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).
And I realize there are people across the United States reading this who are quietly correcting me that it’s “soda not pop”.
Because what you call the can with the sugary, fizzy drink in it depends on the region where you grew up.
In fact, in some places, a Coke stands for everything. Only after you ask for a “Coke” do you specify the type of drink you want with another brand name.
Another point of conversation (or contention depending on who it is) is whether they are “pop tabs” or “pull tabs”.
As it relates to pulling the round sliver aluminum tab off these off cans, however, call them whatever you’d like.
Just donate them if you can.
What’s So Great About Pop Tabs
Pop tabs have been used as both a craft material or “currency” for decades. So it’s a tried and true trend.

Celebrate Then Donate
But if you’re not in a crafty mood, you can simply celebrate then donate!
What I love about this easy donation idea is that you can easily set up a collection at any large gathering or event.
And with the holiday season just around the corner, amassing a decent amount of pull tabs isn’t difficult if you are entertaining at your home or office.
It could be a simple as a big bowl with a sign, or you could decorate a box and even put a little gauge of the donation talley.

Also, in case you didn’t know how RMHC uses the pop tabs, they recycle the aluminum where they typically receive between $0.40 to $0.50 per pound.
The money earned from recycling typically helps to pay for their programs.
Go Ahead And Pop Off!
Pop off the pull tabs that is. And yes, I am feeling sassy and appreciate the double entendre there.
The thing about pop tabs donations is that there is no set limit or timeframe.
So, if you choose to do it as a single person or a family, you can collect them for as little or as long as you want and them send them along to your RMHC of choice.
