Bratt Elementary Collects 53 Pounds Of Pop Tabs For Ronald McDonald House
June 22, 2018
Bratt Elementary School students collected tens of thousands of pop tabs — those little pull tabs off the tops of aluminum drink cans — to benefit the Ronald McDonald House this year.
Between January and the end of May, the school collected 53.6 pounds of pop tabs that were donated Wednesday.
According to the Ronald McDonald House, there are 1,430 tabs per pound — meaning Bratt Elementary’s 53.6 pound donation would contain an estimated 76,000 tabs. Placed end to end, they would stretch over a mile.
The money from recycling the tabs are used by the facility to help pay their water bill.

The tabs bring the same price as the cans.
I have heard of entities separating the tabs from aluminum cans before. Do the tabs bring a higher price?
