POP TAB PANDEMONIUMHow to Be Sure Your Contribution Counts!
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas only acceptsaluminum pop tabs. These tabs can easily be distinguished from
steel pop tabs using a few simple tests.
Common Steel Items: Pet foodcans, tuna cans, soup cans,vegetable cans.Steel is heavier than aluminumand much harder to bend.
Use a magnet. If the pop tab issteel, it will cling to the
magnet. If it is aluminum, itwill not.
Common Aluminum Items: Drinkcans, such as energy drinks orsoda cans.Aluminum is light in the palm ofyour hand and easier to bend.
Take a key and press down onthe pop tab with it. If it bends
easily, it's aluminum. If not, it issteel.
