Ohio Elks South Central District Donates One Million Pull Tabs

Elks lodges , veterans clubs, various organizations and special individuals made the goal of over one million tabs possible. 1,280 tabs equal one pound. The tabs were delivered to the McDonald Restaurant in Chillicothe, Ohio and later transported to the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus, OH. Pull tabs have value in the recycling industry as they represent the purest form of aluminum.

 Three (3) years of collecting beverage tabs resulted in 806 lb. of tabs.

For more than three decades the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio have been serving families with seriously ill children by providing a home-a-way from home.  Families can have a place to stay being close to their children while they are being treated at the hospital.

This was an effort of many individuals for a very good cause.
