Aluminum Tabs Collection Program
Overcomers United (OU) needs your help and we found a way for you to help us make an impact in our effort to collect aluminum tabs year-round, in order to generate funds that benefit our One-on-One Mentorship Program that provides not only mentoring but coaching, support and programming such as financial literacy, professional development and skills building. Your help would go towards helping our community to build capacity and encouraging individuals to succeed in their entrepreneurial journey by supporting historically economically deprived entrepreneurs. Also, by developing programs and services for entrepreneurs which will lead to job creation and this will be one of the easiest ways to help our environment and to improve the quality of our lives.
What is an Aluminum Tab?
An aluminum tab is the piece of metal that opens aluminum cans. Like the can, the tab is recyclable, refundable and accepted by local scrap metal companies.
Why Collect Tabs?
The tabs are more effortlessly recycled and stored in collection containers. They are smaller and easier to handle when receiving large volumes. The amount of money received is determined by the weight of aluminum collected.
However, it takes more than 1,000 tabs to make a pound and that is why we need your help. OU believes these tabs will make a big on-going impact towards supporting our One-on-One Mentorship Program when collected in large numbers.
How to Turn in Tabs
Please contact us by email at overcomersibg2g@gmail.com and we will discuss the best way for OU to receive the tabs.
Alternatively, you may take the collected tabs to your local scrap metal company and send the funds received by e-transfer to overcomersibg2g@gmail.com. We ask that you also include your mailing and contact information, including your email address, so that we can send you a thank you Certificate of Appreciation / Thank You Card.
* Be sure to include your name(s), school or organization name and contact information when sending your collections to ensure proper acknowledgement of your donation.
** Please note that pop tab “collections or programs” cannot be credited towards volunteer hours.
