How Can I Help?
Recycle for Ronald!

Across the region, hundreds of individuals, schools and companies are working together to collect pop tabs to benefit RMHC-CNI.  Those tabs are then recycled by our recycling partner, United Scrap Metal, and we receive the market value of the recycled metal - plus a charitable match from United Scrap. Please join us!

Last year RMHC-CNI raised more than $40,000 from this program. It is fun and easy – a great way for your child, family, school or company to get involved. Here's how to help:

Remove the tabs from every beverage can you consume.

Collect them in a convenient location - it's easy to create a collection container from an plastic jar or storage container.  Just click here to download a POP TAB CONTAINER WRAP to put on your own container, decorate it if you'd like, wrap it around your can, tape it in place, and you're in business!  Or, if you'd prefer a cardboard RMHC "pop tab House" container, call one of the Houses.  (Note: inventory is limited.)

Once you've got a bunch of tabs, you can drop them off at one of the following locations, then take your empty container home and start all over again:
