What are soda can tabs worth?
How much are they worth?How much can you get per tab if you save up a lot of them?
To equal 1 ton, it would take a minimum of 1,084,745 tabs and a maximum of 3,076,930 tabs.I have in excess of 3,325,000 tabs.The average of 1 ton of tabs is based on the 158 different types I have identified so far.
That wasn't your question.How much can you get per tab if you save up a lot of them and turn them in?The national average for scrap aluminum is 78.4 cents a pound and there are 1,509 tabs per pound.
People will tell you that tabs are made out of a higher grade of aluminum.A gallon of tabs is not worth $50, $75, $100, $300, a free keg, or anything like that.The pop/beer can tab is made from the same sheet aluminum that the can is.
The link to the snopes.com article has been outdated since McDonald house Charities started collecting tabs in 1987.
My email is coindude1@charter.net and anyone here still believes that tabs have some special value, or if you are trying to win a contest, I will sell you as many tabs as you want for $2.99 per thousand tabs, with a 1 time shipping charge of $3.80
The scrap metal business may not be the best option if you want to get the most money for your tabs.
Go to artist forums and see if anyone is interested in a very original and versatile material for a sculpture.They might pay more than the plant will.
If you happen to be an artist, you could resell the tabs yourself and make a lot of money.It's just a thought.
