In terms of the value behind the pull tabs, 1500 tabs weigh approximately 1 pound making them worth about a dollar. On the flip side though, many charities will opt for collecting the tabs rather than the cans because they require less storage space and are much cleaner. So why pull tabs? Again, the internet has led many to believe that these are worth more than the can when it’s all worth the same when recycling them because they are all made from aluminum. This branched out to donate pull tabs for artificial limbs and wheelchairs. It was believed that people were collecting pop tabs to donate to the National Kidney Foundation to help pay for dialysis treatments. Initiates such as these all began with a rumor.
Various countries have launched different programs for collecting these aluminum pop tabs such as “Save 1000 ring tabs,” “Project E.A.R.T.H.,” and “Rings for Life.” All encourage the public to recycle to not only benefit the Earth but to help a person in need. Also, there has noted events where the pull tabs for wheelchairs have fallen flat. However, there are many questions and concerns surrounding this initiative. Pull tabs for wheelchairs, also known as Pop Tabs for Wheelchairs, is an initiative that encourages the public to collect the ring tab on the top of any standard aluminum drink cans and exchange them for a wheelchair.
