A gallon bag of pull tabs weighs in at roughly 2.5 lbs. At the current scrap price, in my area, of 65 cents a pound, you're looking at about $1.82 per gallon. Now the price per pound varies from place to place and the price is dependant on other factors also. So check your local scrap yard before wasting a trip.
Pull tabs from cans are the same material as the can itself, mostly aluminum. Scrap metal of any kind is sold by weight and the price that an individual can obtain will vary form place to place at a local scrap dealer.
Generally speaking, a million pull tabs have a value around $366 US; or 100 pull tabs have a scrap value of .035 (three and a half cents) US. But, as in any business, you have to deduct the cost for collecting, holding and transporting, not to mention your time. A million of anything is difficult to collect. If you want to earn money collecting aluminum, collecting the cans with tabs attached will add up much more quickly. In US states that have mandatory container deposits, each can is worth from .05 to .10 when returned to a vendor. Much more lucrative than collecting tabs.
The only way to know for sure how much your gallon of pull tabs is worth is to weigh the pull tabs on a reliable scale and contact a local scrap dealers for the current price paid for scrap aluminum. You might also read the information on the links below.

Hospitals do not buy soda tabs, but they will collect them. They can earn money when they turn them in. Some schools also collect soda tabs.
about 20 since every soda tab is about 5 cents each I think it is closer to 2300 tabs. Can aluminum is going for about 55 cents per pound today. At 1250 tabs per pound that is equivalent to about 2300 tabs per dollar.
You seem to think that soda can tabs are the same as money - they are not money.

It takes approximately 1600 soda can tabs to make a pound.
No, aluminum soda cans typically have aluminum tabs for opening the can. Titanium is not commonly used for opening tabs on soda cans due to its higher cost and heavier weight compared to aluminum.
