It is probably true but why waste the time. They pay you the same amount for the pop tops as they do for the whole can.

10,000 pull tabs will fit in a box . 10,000 Cans would need a box van . That's why they want the pull tabs . Easier to store until they need to turn them in .

A lot more sanitary as well since the pull tab doesnt have coke/beer/saliva residue swirling around in the bottom.

There are rumors that the pull tabs on cans are the only part of the can made from pure aluminum. According to Alcoa, aluminum from recycled cans, tabs included, is identical to aluminum smelted from virgin ore. The can itself is every bit as valuable and recyclable as the tab. You should also keep in mind that the whole can far outweighs the tab. One pound of aluminum equals about 34 empty cans or 1,500 pull tabs. Sorry to burst his bubble. Charitable organizations such as the Ronald McDonald House do accept pull tabs to help defray the costs and to provide help for patients unable to pay.

So why don't they accept the entire can?

Have a friend who collects just the tops off of aluminum cans.

He says they are made of " pure aluminium " and are worth more.

True or false .

False, cans including the tab are made of 3000 series aluminum alloy. Pure aluminum is 1000 series.

To get a higher dollar amount for recycled aluminum you have to be a certified ferrous free recycler.

Someone told me if you save a milk jug full of can tabs it would be worth $500. It took me a year to fill it and that was with 10 beer drinkers helping me. Needless to say once I filled it the guy that told me that said....I'll get you the address and I'm still waiting. Lol it's been over 10 years!

its a myth

How much would 10,000 pull tabs weigh vs 10,000 cans?
