Roughly 1,800 of those stay tabs equals 1 lbs (which is worth about 35¢). Instead of wasting all that time and energy sending these tabs in the mail, wasting gas for the recycling truck having to come pick up what amounts to about $10 worth of scrap aluminum, having to pay someone to process all those little pieces of aluminum, wouldn’t it be easier to just send them a financial donation in the form of a check in the amount of like $10? That way you can still get that warm fuzzy feeling from thinking you’re making a difference, and not having to waste time sending in all those little aluminum stay tabs… just a thought. And let’s not even talk about the fact that McDonald’s makes billions in profit every year… one would think they would just make a huge donation to their own charity.
