ION collects 93,000 aluminum tabs for the Ronald McDonald House!

Thank you to everyone who participates in the Ronald McDonald Tab Top collection program at ION. In less than nine months, the collection house was filled with aluminum can tabs for recycling. The total weight was 81.8 pounds!  This is approximately equivalent to 93,000 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 1,228 pounds through this program.  By the same math, this is approximately the equivalent of 1,392,325 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!
