PEP Program donates another 7 miles of can tabs...

PEP donates 412 lbs of can tabs to Springfield Ronald McDonald House.

 

’’That’s roughly 464,736 can tabs! WOW!’’

 

For the past several years, PEP has collected and donated can tabs to Ronald McDonald House, where the organization’s staff redeem the aluminum tabs for cash. The price for aluminum on the market varies, so the staff redeems the can tabs as needed.

 

The latest can tab drive began last June and the tabs were collected and donated by students, family, friends, and teachers within the Franklin County Technical School community and its sending school districts.

 

On Thursday, May 16th the Pre-Employment Program went to the Ronald McDonald House to drop off 412 lbs of can tabs!  At approximately 1,128 can tabs per pound, that's roughly 464,736 can tabs!  WOW!

 

Over the last 6 years the PEP Program has collected and donated:

2024 -- 412 lbs (465,000 tabs) = 7.3 Miles
2023 -- 199 lbs (224,000 tabs) = 3.5 Miles
2022 -- 208 lbs (234,000 tabs) = 3.7 Miles
2021 --   94 lbs (106,000 tabs) = 1.7 Miles
2020 -- 275 lbs (330,000 tabs) = 5.2 Miles
2019 -- 295 lbs (354,000 tabs) = 5.6 Miles

==========================================
         1,483 lbs - 1,713,000 Can Tabs!!  = 27 Miles !!!
