One place to collect and recycle aluminum can tabs for money is at a local recycling center. Many recycling centers will pay cash for aluminum cans, and some will also accept can tabs separately.

Who saves the tabs off of cans and for what?

Sadly, there has been a false story circulating for many years that the tabs could be turned in, and a company would pay for someone's chemotherapy, dialysis, buy a wheelchair, etc. Many people have collected them hoping to do some good with them. They have no value beyond ordinary scrap aluminum value.


Where can you sell aluminum can tabs and get money for the tabs so people can make needles out of them?

That's an urban legend. And needles are made of mild steel, not aluminum.If you want any money for the can tabs, you can find a local recycler to pay you for the scrap aluminum.No organization will pay out cash, goods, or services for pull tabs from aluminum cans. Some will accept donations of pull tabs but their marginal value is only for scrap aluminum.Anyone gathering pull tabs for charity and cash would do far better to collect whole cans; accumulating nothing but pull tabs is like eschewing quarters in order to collect pennies.The next time someone asks you to donate pull tabs for a good cause, donate a few facts instead.That is a good idea, but you could also put them on Ebay. The value of regular soda or beer pull tabs are worth between 1 and 2 cents each, but the colored tabs on Red Bull or Monster energy drink pull tabs are worth between 5 and 8 cents each.
