Aluminum can tabs (and the rest of the can too) can be completely recycled and processed into new cans. If you have a recycler who pays for aluminum, then you can sell your tabs and cans.
Don't save just the tabs, recycle the whole can!

Where can you turn in soda can tabs for cash?
Answer for the USA: Yes, you can get 40 cents per pound at a scrap metal yard. That would mean collecting 750 pounds of aluminum to get $300. There are about 30 cans to the pound, so, the can is usually worth more at a recycling center, since 30 cans would be worth only 40 cents as scrap metal, but would be worth $1.50 at a recycling center. If you just recycled the tabs, you would need an enormous number. 1600 tabs weigh about 1 pound, so you would need 1.2 Million Tabs to get 300 Pounds
