Where can I turn in soda can tabs for money?

I live in a Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, IL as well as we was wondering where we can spin in cocktail can tabs for income so we can present a income to a Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Does any one know where we can spin them in?


There are 2 suggestions to question “Where can I turn in soda can tabs for money?”

  1. They don’t actually take them for donations for diabetes. This is a HUGE urban legend.
    You can take them to the recycling depot where they will redeem the aluminum for what the weight is worth, which is very little. You would need a lot of tabs.
    Snopes says: "Charity groups and the aluminum industry say they have been fighting misconseptions about collecting pop can tabs for years"

  2. look that place up in the phone book and ask em

Your suggestion?
