Pop Tabs to Support

Who does the Ronald McDonald Houses help?

The four Ronald McDonald Houses provide a “home away from home” to keep families together while their child is receiving medical treatment far from home. Located near various Hospitals, they provide comfortable & private rooms, and opportunities to bond with other families going through similar situations.

Why Pop Tabs?

RMHC®-CNI collects pull tabs because they are clean, compact, easy and have the highest-grade aluminum in the entire can. So, the pull tabs have the highest recycling value!  ANY type of pull tab can be used.

How can you help?

Collect ANY type of pull tabs and turn them in at your Karate school. Old cleaned milk gallons, coffee cans or laundry tubs are great containers to collect tabs and are another way to recycle! Ziplock baggies or garbage bags work just as well!

What Now?

In Oct we turned in 165 POUNDS of pull tabs!  We increased our last turn in by 45 pounds! What a wonderful effort by everyone. So what now?  Keep collecting your pull tabs and turn them in to your school.  I will continue to collect them at regional events.  I am starting to track each school effort by pounds instead of gallons this year and will continue to post how we are doing.  Our next Regional goal is to have at least 200 pounds to turn in.

How can I collect?

1.Ask your friends
