i was at a party last night and someone told me if you collect a gallon of aluminum tabs, you can trade them in for like $180 or a keg. does anyone know if this is true or not?
 
yea my buddies allready have 3/4 of a gallon collected, but we're not exactley sure where you can trade them in...
 
alright, i'm trying to google it but i can't find shit. we just started last night, but we bought 9 racks so its going to be one hell of a weekend.
 
yep...we've done it three times out here...we carry our 5 gallon bucket to every party we go through and everyone pitches in...we do the kegger at my buddies house...we get house cup, and everyone else gets small cups...the lines get ridiculously long...
 
ya its true you can get a keg for a gallon of them i thinks its out of WA or PA but i could be wrong. my friends have like 1/2 full so probally by next year will have enough. a galoon is actually a ton of tabs, more than i thought.
 
Why the tabs and not the entire cans? I assume they're doing this for the aluminum since its pretty expensive... maybe the cans have impurities while the tabs dont?
 
We get it from an on off sale bar....they do the tabs because the tab is denser in metal content and also there is then less "air space" or "wasted space" in the pail....and for us it's a 5 gallon bucket, not a 1 gallon....
 
yeah but 5 gallons of pop tabs worth $75 bucks a gallon is worth way more than a keg....which is why they are more than willing to make the trade....
 
a keg costs $40 man.

then is you don't have a shell its a $20 deposit.

then if you don't have a tap it's a $40 deposit.

$100 if you have nothing at all. you get $60 back if you return the shell & tap and within 2 weeks.
 
my suitemate tried last week and they said that it wasn't true and they wouldn't give him a keg for his thousands of tabs. He was in Plymouth, NH, by the way.
 
I fucking told you...in Spearfish, SD they seem to accept a 5 gallon bucket of tabs as worthy of a keg....being that it worked 3 fucking times....if you dont believe me, research it....
