Pop Tabs Program
Why collect aluminum pop tabs? By collecting the pop tabs off of aluminum beverage cans, you can make a difference in the lives of the families at the Ronald McDonald House. A small yet significant way schools, organizations, families and individuals can become involved is to “pull” for the Ronald McDonald House of Jackson.
If you think that your aluminum pop tab donation won’t make a difference, think again! For every pound of pop tabs collected, the House recycles the tabs and receives the current rate for aluminum. In the two seconds it takes to pull the tab from your beverage can, you can help pay $8.00 per night room fee for families unable to pay. However, the Ronald McDonald House never turns away anyone due to his/her inability to pay.
The Ronald McDonald House is a non-profit organization and is operated by funds raised through special events, individuals, community groups and corporations. We are not a United Way agency and receive no state or federal funding. If every school, civic organization, and individual collects aluminum pop tabs, the lives of thousands could be touched.
Pull those tabs of the Ronald McDonald House and encourage your friends and family to do so as well. Pop tab donations are accepted year-round and can be dropped off at the Ronald McDonald House, 2524 North State Street, Jackson, Mississippi (campus of University of Mississippi Medical Center) from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday and 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday.
