Mardi Gras Bead Recycling on the Northshore

Posted By: Aimee March 6, 2019

Mardi Gras is officially over. The curtain has closed on the courts of Rex and Comus, we’ve hung up our wigs and feather boas, and you’re probably still trying to clean up the last of the glitter that made it into your house (good luck, it’s there forever now). In packing away the Mardi Gras decor and cleaning up after a few weeks of madness, you’re probably looking at a LOT of beads and thinking “now what do I do with all this stuff that seemed so very important in the moment?”

Rather than throwing away the beads, or storing them in your attic and compromising the structural integrity of your house, there’s a better solution. There are several organizations that accept Mardi Gras Beads to be sorted by individuals with intellectual disabilities and then re-sold to krewe members for next year’s parades. They’ve got drop off spots all around the area where your beads can be recycled. Here’s a list!

Hi, I'm Aimée, the Special Projects Coordinator for Northshore Parent. If there's a fun giveaway, a kids' clothing review, or a special event, there's a good chance that I'm responsible. I'm a lifelong resident of St. Tammany (except for time at LSU for undergrad and law school) and a mom to 3 little ones, ages 6, 6 (yes, they are twins, and no, they are not identical) and 2. Thanks for reading Northshore Parent and being a part of our community.
