CNRV collects another 225,000 aluminum tabs for the Ronald McDonald House!

Thank you to everyone who participates in the Ronald McDonald Tab Top collection program at Carilion New River Valley Medical Center. In just over one year, the collection house was filled with aluminum can tabs for recycling. The total weight was 198.5 pounds!  This is approximately equivalent to 225,099 tabs! These tabs were delivered to the Ronald McDonald House in Roanoke, who will recycle the tabs to raise funds used to operate the house. If you are not familiar with the Ronald McDonald House of Southwest Virginia, you can learn more here.

Since we began collecting tabs across Carilion in July 2019 we have recycled 1,146 pounds through this program.  By the same math, this is approximately the equivalent of 1,298,997 tabs!

There are collection houses available at CRMH, CRCH, CNRV, CFMH, CRBH, Cancer Center/Rehab Building, Carilion Children's Tanglewood, Crystal Springs Medical Office Building, and ION. If you do not work in these locations, tabs can still be collected and dropped off at any of these houses.

Thank you again to all who participate in this recycling program!
