Did you know that the pull tab from your soda or beverage can is part of a
major fundraising effort for the Nashville Ronald McDonald House? And, by
simply saving this small pop-top, you can help raise hundreds of dollars to
support the families of seriously ill or injured children receiving
treatment at Nashville hospitals.
The Nashville Ronald House’s Pull-Tab program is an effort to collect only
the pull-tabs from aluminum drink cans, and the House has an agreement with
a local recycling company to receive a premium rate per pound for these tabs.
So, why save the pull-tab but not the whole can? The pull-tab is made of a
more pure, high-grade aluminum, so recycling companies don’t have to go
through the separating and purifying processes associated with recycling the
whole can. Also, saving just the pull-tab is more sanitary and convenient.
And, perhaps most importantly, anyone can participate!
Please send your pull-tabs with your child to Mrs. Rampey. Your donation
will be sent directly to the Ronald McDonald House of Nashville.
They also collect any pop-top from food cans also.
