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.
Can tabs are the tabs on the top of cans that you pull back to open the can

Aluminum can tabs (and the rest of the can too) can be completely recycled and processed into new cans. If you have a recycler who pays for aluminum, then you can sell your tabs and cans. Don't save just the tabs, recycle the whole can!
You can take the tabs off of aluminum cans and donate them to various organizations that collect them for fundraising purposes. Organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities often accept these tabs as donations and use them to generate funds for their programs and services. Additionally, some recycling centers may also pay you for the tabs as they can be recycled and the proceeds used for charitable causes.

There's no place I know of you can cash in can tabs. You can cash in whole cans at a recycling station.I suppose if you took in a wheelbarrow of tabs, you might get a couple of bucks, but the amount would be based on weight and tabs don't weigh much.
Answer for the USA: Yes, you can get 40 cents per pound at a scrap metal yard. That would mean collecting 750 pounds of aluminum to get $300. There are about 30 cans to the pound, so, the can is usually worth more at a recycling center, since 30 cans would be worth only 40 cents as scrap metal, but would be worth $1.50 at a recycling center. If you just recycled the tabs, you would need an enormous number. 1600 tabs weigh about 1 pound, so you would need 1.2 Million Tabs to get 300 Pounds
