Help keep families with sick children close while doing your part to sustain our environment by recycling for RMHC! The aluminum tab tops on beverage cans, old keys or small electronics you collect will be recycled and turned into a monetary donation for RMHC St. Louis thanks to our friends at Didion Orf Recycling. While it may seem like a small gesture, your recycling efforts have a big impact on families staying at one of our three Ronald McDonald Houses and those using our four Ronald McDonald Family Rooms.
TAB TOP PROGRAM The Tab Top Program invites people of all ages to collect aluminum tab tops from beverage cans to support The House that Love Built.
KEYS TO THE HEART PROGRAM Collect and donate your unused keys to RMHC St. Louis through our Keys to the Heart Program. When you donate the keys you no longer need, you open doors for families with seriously ill children.
ELECTRONIC RECYCLING PROGRAM Your old or broken electronics don’t need to sit around gathering dust. Instead, many types of electronics, including holiday lights, can be recycled and turned into a monetary donation!
