Millions of Tabs Club
The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas will begin collecting aluminum pop tabs for membership in the Millions of Tabs Club on October 15, 2009. You will be welcomed as members of the club when you reach one million tabs collected. There is no expected end date in site as we hope to eventually go to the billion club.
Collect aluminum tabs in any large container. You may download one of our labels for your container. There is no need to count the tabs. One pound equals approximately 1,000 tabs, therefore 1,000 pounds equals one million tabs. You are responsible for weighing and keeping trackof the pounds you have collected. You are on the honor system! You do not have to wait to bring your tabs until you have a million tabs collected. In fact, most schools and organizations bring their tabs twice a year.
When large amounts of aluminum pop tabs are collected at the House, we take them to a recycling center. They give us a check according to the price of aluminum at the time, which varies. The check goes back into the House and is used for operating expenses.
Once you have collected a large amount of tabs, bring to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas located at 706 Grove Road Greenville SC. Our office hours are:

You may bring pop tabs anytime our office is open. Make sure they are 100% aluminum (if a magnet sticks, it is not aluminum). Please mark your container with the organization’s name and address.
The program is open to schools, church groups, organizations or individuals. Members will receive a certificate and will be listed on our plaque that will reside at our House at 706 Grove Road in Greenville, SC.
Please let us hear from you if you are planning to participate. You may reach Debi Warren, Volunteer Coordinator at 235-0506 or rmhwarren@charterinternet.com
Thank you for your support!
