What a waste of time. Those things arn't worth anything. Stupid idiots don't do their research. The poor kid thinks she's helping fund cancer treatment or somthing like that when in reality she's just wasting her time.

But their value is no different to recyclers than the rest of the can. It's all the same aluminum. She'd be better off collecting pennies from people.

Maybe, I was under the mistaken idea that the pure aluminum tabs were easier to recycle and when donated to one of the Thai royal family charities would be 100% used for aluminum crutches for crippled children. There are a lot of people in Thailand that believe this. But, frankly speaking I just love collecting them. I'm so fanantical about it that I flying back to the US and made the stewardess wait when I got my tab and she then told everyone else on board that they'd have to do the same and give me their tabs. That was pretty cool even if it was misguided.
