Collecting aluminum pull tabs from cans helps generate funds for Ronald McDonald House Louisville through recycling. It’s a simple way for schools, workplaces, and community groups to get involved over time.
Save the pull tabs from aluminum cans and collect them in a container. Once you’ve filled your container, you can drop them off at the House.
Pull tabs are recycled, and the proceeds help support families staying at the House.
Start collecting at home, school, or work. Many groups turn this into a friendly competition or ongoing project.
For more information, contact our Volunteer Coordinator.
