Is there any truth to Ronald McDonald Houses accepting can tabs for patient treatments?
The can tabs are NOT more valuable than the rest of the can. But because so many people were collecting the tabs, McDonalds said, "OK, you can donate them here and we will use the money for our Ronald McDonald Houses." They just trade the tabs in for money at the local recyclers (One million tabs gets about US$355. That means 100 tabs are worth three and a half cents!). You'd be far better off keeping the tabs on the cans and recycling the whole can. You'll get much more money for it, as the aluminum in the can is just as valuable as the stuff in the tab.
See the link below about "Can Tabs Urban Myth".
A:Yes. Here is the web site for Ronald McDonald including the information about the tab tops http://www.rmhc.org/kids/poptab_collection/ apparently the tabs are made of a higher quality aluminum. Marcie A:No no no no! This is an urban myth! Okay, well kinda there is. But only because of the myth. Because of the prevalence of this myth, in association with several charitable organizations, many are giving the recycling value of the tabs if you turn them into drop centers. Ronald McDonald house is one and they get $0.50 per lb of tabs. It takes almost 1000 tabs to make a lb. The tabs are made of an aluminum alloy similar to the rest of the can. For recycling purposes the tab, top and can are all worth the same by weight. The Ronald McDonald House website does say that the tabs are "100% pure, high-quality aluminum," but it isn't true. They need to be an alloy to be strong enough to open the soda. Go ahead and leave the tab on the can and collect the cans to drop off as aluminum for recycling, collect the money and donate that to Ronald McDonald Houses. You'll get more money AND you will be recycling. It's a win-win! A:Yes, it's true. My daughter's elementary school collected tab tops for them. The school office had a huge acrylic/wood "Ronald McDonald House" in which we would dump our collected tab tops. You have to check with your local Ronald McDonald House/Charity, to see if that House/Charity participates (not all do). Go to this website on the official Ronald McDonald House website -- http://rmhc.org/how-you-can-help/other-ways-to-get-involved/pop-tab-collections/. Also -- "the tabs are made of PURE high-quality aluminum, unlike cans, which consist of alluminum and other alloys." [taken from the RMcDH website.] They are not made of the same metal as the rest of the can.How much money did children in need raise in 2010?

Why should you spend money on starving people?
The vast majority of starving people are in that situation through an accident of birth, or through politics, climate, and other factors no fault of their own. To have a relatively comfortable home and adequate food for yourself and your family implies some humanitarian obligation to help those suffering hardship, in the same way you might help out - within your means - a neighbouring family which has suffered loss of some sort. One day it might be you needing help, but that shouldn't be why you show compassion and support to those less fortunate than yourself.
