Participants will receive a receipt upon drop-off, acknowledging their contribution and will bring the receipts to the Georgia State Beta Convention.

How It Works

Collect: Gather pop tabs from aluminum cans at home, school, or community events.

Drop-Off: Bring the collected tabs to any of the designated collection centers listed below.

Receive Receipt: Show your donation; receive a receipt acknowledging your contribution. Bring receipt to the Georgia State Beta Convention.
