did u guys know that if u have a gallon on soda tabs then some recycling places pay u 50$ a gallon for them because they benefit the childrens hospitals. u should check out the ones in ur area.
-
Thats a crap load of soda tabs! :o I would probably have diabetes trying to get a gallon of soda tabs. For 50 cents too, that's worse than doing the daily tasks. ;) Seriously just recycle anything including the entire can and then donate your funds to the local childrens hospital or charity of your choice. You can also donate to the childrens hospital through Fusion Cash with whatever amount you want to donate from your earnings. Fusion Cash is awesome enough to match whatever amount you donate and write the check to said charity in your name.

I donate my soda tabs to the Ronald McDonald house because when my daughter was in her final trimester with her twins and went into labor early we had to stay at the Ronald McDonald house and the people were great. They provided evening meals for us and we just paid what we could for the stay.
-
yes they do benefit the ronald mcdonald house and the ronald mcdonald house provides and pays for the meals for the parents and children at the childrens hospital. and yes it is 50 DOLLARS!
-
OMG ... that would a lot of soda's to get a gallon full of tabs.
But would be a good idea to leave the gallon in a workplace breakroom and everyone can pitch in.
It would make for a good fundraiser to help charity ... every little bit helps.

I have tried to save them in the past, but I never usually got past filling about a pint of the gallon. It takes a long time, especially when 2 liters are a better deal to buy.

yeah i agree on that one cause i'd rather have a 2 liter too. but like the other ones said..have the people in ur work place pitch in and the money will go to charity.

I appreciate the thought and thanks for letting us know about this way to make a difference. This might just be feasible for a restaurant or other such business. I don't know the going rate for recycling cans though I have recycled a ton of scrap metal from my years in construction and made much more than most would believe. 8)
-
That would save my teeth. I have a habit of pulling off the tab and chewing on them.
-
I have been saving the tabs for years ever since there was a fund raiser for a child with cancer. I will have quite a bit to donate to the next charity event.
-
I also donate my soda tabs to the ronald mcdonald house! it's a great charity and I think it's for every lb of soda tabs a parent gets to stay a night for free with their child who is sick :angel11:
-
I used to collect them when I was a kid. My mom would tell me, I would get paid money if I gave the tabs to mcdonalds, but they didn't take it :crybaby2:

yes the going rate for aluminium cans per pound is 55 cents. in your area it might be more or less. but here it's 55 cents a pound.

Yeah, I actually used to save all the ones I came across so I could give them to grandpa's in-home nurse. She would then give them to her kid to take to school because they collected them, but they collected them to help people who couldn't afford to pay for chemotherapy.
