Pop Tab Pandemonium

Pop-Tabs-Picture | Pop Tab Pandemonium

The little tab you pull to open your soda, soup, or any other aluminum can makes a significant impact on the Ronald McDonald House of Augusta. The House recycles the tabs to generate funds to offset general operating costs. By collecting the tabs you will help care for families who stay at our House each year. This is an easy and fun project for schools, clubs, businesses or other large groups! We even have individuals and families collecting for us! Tabs can be dropped off at our House any day between 9 am and 9 pm. Last year, we made over $1,800 from collecting and recycling pop tabs.

Did You Know?

  • Pop tabs were invented in 1962 by Ermal Fraze of Dayton, Ohio.
  • There are 1267 pop tabs in one pound.
  • We collect the tab instead of the can because there is more aluminum in just the tab than in the whole can -- and it takes up much less space!
  • The Ronald McDonald House of Augusta receives over 4.6 million pop tabs a year!

Even five pop tabs can make a difference, so save your tabs and bring them to us as often as you like!
