Thanks for posting that.

My tabs go very local. The elementary school my wife works at collects them. They go to the county recycling center and the kids get hands on field trips sponsored in exchange for the tabs.

Save and send them to the schools here .
Collected for wheelchairs (powered) for disabled school children

If the tabs are worth money then why not ask people to donate entire cans? They'd get a lot more aluminum a lot faster that way.

Apparently the tabs have the highest concentration of Aluminum out of the entire can... but yeah why not the whole animal(shrug)

Suggest you check with snopes.com about this tab business.

Our Men's Club collected two 55-Gallon Barrels full of them last year and turned them in. I just wish I could have gotten a picture before they got rid of them. That's a lot of pull tabs.

Well I know our Girl Scouts here collect them and get money for them.
