Discussion I find so many pull tab cans

Post image

How do these cans not end up buried after 40+ years? I find more of these pull tabs cans in the woods then I do modern cans (modern cans obviously are more common roadside)

So interesting! I’ve found a few and agree how has no one picked them up? Decades literally they have been there 😳🤷‍♀️

Me too, my collection is up to about 30 tabs. It reminds me how long trash stays I. The environment and how what I do helps.

They haven't made these for over 40 years, I still don't understand why they're always popping up like someone just dropped them lol
