This could be a costly issue, but thanks to the Ronald McDonald House, living costs is one less thing a struggling family has to worry about. For families in need, the Ronald McDonald House has been their home away from home for more than 2,500 families every night for families around the world. Programs such as Pop Top Collections help to support the more than 170 Houses these families call home. Pop tabs are a higher quality aluminum and more valuable by weight than the entire cans. Because they are smaller in size and cleaner, they are easier to store.
Any organization can begin their own programs.
Golden Key has been implementing this program for a few years now. Knowing that students drink many kinds of beverages in aluminum cans, the Pop Tops campaign is perfect for a college campus. This year the collection was another great success. The UW-L chapter raked in 470lbs of pop tops. A competition is held each year between the residence halls and the fraternities and sororities on campus.
