That's an urban legend. And needles are made of mild steel, not aluminum.
If you want any money for the can tabs, you can find a local recycler to pay you for the scrap aluminum.
No organization will pay out cash, goods, or services for pull tabs from aluminum cans. Some will accept donations of pull tabs but their marginal value is only for scrap aluminum.
Anyone gathering pull tabs for charity and cash would do far better to collect whole cans; accumulating nothing but pull tabs is like eschewing quarters in order to collect pennies.
The next time someone asks you to donate pull tabs for a good cause, donate a few facts instead.
That is a good idea, but you could also put them on Ebay. The value of regular soda or beer pull tabs are worth between 1 and 2 cents each, but the colored tabs on Red Bull or Monster energy drink pull tabs are worth between 5 and 8 cents each.
Yes.
Most are made from Aluminum or quicksilver metals. Wooden ones are usually bamboo and the acrylic needles are acrylic plastic (obviously lol) hope that helps.
As in sewing needles or pinhead needles - no. But they're long, narrow and really pointy, which make them very much like needles.
Well, you could make it into something or you can take it to the recycling center to get money, but only with aluminum.
there were many ways to make money ine England in 1750 There were some special types of farmers called subsistence farmers who grew extra food and fed it to the animals then sold the spare Others grew and sold food Wool was a good money maker, but people did it in the own homes Hand makes, buttons, needles, bricks, pottery, bread and more were sold for profit
scrap aluminum
I was consideringmelting them to make windmill blades for a generator.

People get money from people or when they pay for something they can get change they make money from machines
Aluminum is the only material that's endlessly recyclable, and It takes energy to make aluminum from scratch. In fact, it takes 95% more energy to make aluminum from bauxite ore than to recycle old aluminum into new. The energy you save by recycling a single aluminum can will run a TV for three hours.
Because people want to make money without all the responsibility.
The most commonly used material to make needles was antler, sometimes bone was used.
