First problem I saw with all you collectors who would like to sell tabs is you keep putting them in milk jugs, 2 liter bottles, etc. STOP THAT! The proper way to store pull tabs is in zip locks, or boxes if you're into larger amounts. I have sold over 40 million of them to support my 3 charities.
Those who oversee larger collection drives do not have the time to shake 3,000 tabs out of a milk jug, and insurance companies may not want them using knives to cut them open. And the scrap yard is just going to turn you away. Recycle the milk jug instead.
Now, selling tabs, E-bay is where the market is, but you got to play by the buyers' rules. Take your tabs, sort them by type, and color. Remove the damaged tabs, now remove the tabs that are not aluminium (use a magnet if you're not sure). Next, it's needle-nose pliers time. Remove that annoying curly thing, it takes up 36% of the space due to the coat-hanger effect, and accounts for 4.4% of your shipping costs.
Count your tabs into 1,000 count baggies. This bag, which containes 26 cents worth of scrap aluminium, is now worth $4 to the person who needs them for arts and crafts. Colored tabs $20 per 1,000, MONSTER tabs $50 per 1,000. In every case, the buyer pays shipping.
Now, as for the curly things, they are also scrap aluminium. Dump them in the bag or box which has the damaged tabs and drop them off at McDonalds. These tabs will be recycled to allow families to remain near their hospitalized children, and you're making 15 times scrap for the tabs you sell.

I never thought of selling the tabs on ebay, thanks for the advice! We save our aluminum cans to sell to recycle on Earth Day every year when we usually get 30-40 cents a pound. I may put the kids to work going back & removing all the tabs :D Thanks for the tip!
Its a great idea.. A few years ago when a local high school started collecting for Cancer Patients My entire family began and when the school stopped we still collect.. Needless to say they have accumulated to about ten jugs never thought to sale them though!!

The fastest way to recycle aluminum is to take it to a local recycling center. I would use google or your yellow pages to find it.

I live in Melbourne, fl and I was wondering I have at least 2,600 can tops already filled in a gallon water jug and I was wondering where do I go to sell them
Ive heard that they are the purest form of allium and can be sold for 600 bucks a pound to make hyperderm needles if this is true I have several lbs
I do not think this is true. All information I have seen states that the aluminum tabs are only worth what any other aluminum cans or items would be worth to a metal scrapper or recycler. Some people sell them online for use in crafts as well, and that might be a more valuable route to take. I'd check Ebay as well as contacting your local recycler.
How can I sell my pop tabs on eBay and how do you how many that you got

Where the hell is the phone number on any of these sites to Port St Lucie being able to turn in can tabs for the best of the money my car broke down I saved a 5-gallon water jug full and I cannot find a damn place that will buy them because no one knows where and you keep putting up all these sites and no number where's the phone number
I assume you are talking about Port St. Lucie in Florida. Here are a couple of links from your area that may take them. Aluminum is generally worth about 40 cents a pound.

Good advice!!
I got these pop soda lids tabs I got four jugs of so delete and I want to sell them for money where can I get rid of it that
Aluminum can tabs can be sold for the price of scrap aluminum or can be sold to crafters online. A lot of people use eBay with varying prices. They are worth about 50 cents a pound as scrap. You would need to weigh your jugs to get an approximate figure. I would search for metal recyclers in your local area.
Here is an article that discusses this in more detail.
