Collecting pop tabs is one of the easiest ways to support the Orange County Ronald McDonald House! Get your school, scout troop, club, or co-workers involved!
An easy way to help the Orange County Ronald McDonald House is to collect pop tabs for recycling. It’s a great fundraising project for scout troops, civic groups, schools, and churches. Since our collection drive started in 1998, we have raised over $77,000 from recycling pop tabs. The money earned (100 percent of it) goes to offset the costs of running the Orange County Ronald McDonald House.
4 easy steps to collecting pop tabs:
- Ask students/co-workers to save pop tabs from their aluminum beverage cans in a baggie, coffee can, or other small container. Please do not bring tabs from cans that are not aluminum. To test, place a magnet near the tab in question. Aluminum is not magnetic. Please do not collect your pop tabs in containers with small openings such as milk jugs and two liter bottles; it makes taking them out difficult!
- Designate a large container in your school/office as the collection point.
- Display a poster in your school/business/organization to get people excited about collecting pop tabs.
- Purchase small or large collection House at the Orange County Ronald McDonald House.
Up to 5 small collection houses are free; the cost is 25¢ for each additional small collection house. These pint-sized containers hold about 850 pop tabs.
Up to 2 large collection houses are free; the cost is $1.50 for each additional large collection house. These larger containers hold about 15-20 pounds of pop tabs.
