Pay It Forward: Pop Top Tabs II

Pay It Forward: Pop Top Tabs IIPay It Forward

Motivated by Dawn Fabiszak's post Pay It Forward-Pop Top Tabs, I started collecting soda can pop top tabs!  We've been saving soda cans at home and in our office for years and years.  We usually take our cans to the local grocery store (King Soopers) to recycle.  I don't know what happens to the cans after we drop them off.  I just know they are recycled.

When I read Dawn's post and learned that the tabs that she collects benefit Ronald McDonald house, I decided that I like knowing who benefits from the recycling!  We will continue to recycle our cans at the grocery store, because it's good for the environment AND we'll save our tabs for Ronald McDonald house charities! 

Thanks Dawn!

Many of the pop top tab collection things are scams or nonexistent, BUT this one is legit.  You CAN help Ronald McDonald House Charities with pop top tabs.  See this website.

I think that is super cool too. Where do you drop the tabs off at?

Hi Joni~ I'm not sure.  I'm giving the tabs to Dawn because her office is not very far from me.  I would imagine if you clicked on the link that Susan referenced in her comment (#1) you can find information locally.

Donna- my friend's children collected them once for a school project. I'd keep a little zip-lock handy and in they went.  Such an easy thing to do!
