Recycling Mardis Gras Beads

mardi_gras_mask_cateyes

Are you headed to a Mardis Gras party or celebration tonight or tomorrow?  If you are and you end up with handfuls of the coveted beads when you’re done partying, save them and recycle them.

That’s right, instead of just throwing your beads away long after their luster is gone, you can send them back to New Orleans and have them recycled for a good cause.  The Arc of Greater New Orleans is a non-profit groups that serves people with intellectual disabilities and delays from birth through adulthood in the New Orleans area.   If you’re in the area, you can drop your Mardis Gras beads off at one of their three locations:

  • 925 S. Labarre Rd., Metairie
  • 5700 Loyola Avenue, New Orleans
  • 333 Sala Avenue, Westwego

For more recycling information call (504) 837-5105.  Laissez les bon temps roulet!
