To contact us:

An easy way to help the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House is by collecting pop tabs for recycling. It's a great fundraising project for civic groups, schools, and churches.  The money earned goes to off-set the costs of running the Bakersfield Ronald McDonald House.

What is a Pop Tab?

A pop tab is the piece of metal that opens aluminum cans. Like the can, the pop tab is recyclable. It is a small piece, yet a refundable piece.

Why pop tabs and not the whole can?

Pop tabs are high quality, pure aluminum and are more valuable than the can, which is a combination of aluminum and other alloys. Tabs are also easier to store and less messy than saving the whole can.

How to get it going…

1. Ask students/co-workers to save pop tabs from their aluminum beverage cans in a baggie, coffee can, or other small container. Please no milk jugs!

2. Designate a large container in your school/office as the collection point.

3. Display a poster in your school/business/organization to get people collecting pop tabs. Click here to download Poster.
