Make Mardi Gras History With Us!

YLC Recycles, in collaboration with Arc of Greater New Orleans, has launched a pilot recycling initiative for the 2018 Mardi Gras season, with support from Republic Services, the Krewes of Thoth and Freret, and the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation. The initiative will provide recycling services during Krewe of Thoth this Sunday, February 11.

YLC Recycles still needs volunteers to hand out recycling bags and staff recycling stations along the parade route this Sunday. There are two shifts available, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sign up for a shift by contacting: ylrecycles@gmail.com. For more information, visit ylcnola.org/mardigras.

YLC wishes to sincerely thank all of the amazing individuals who volunteered last weekend on the Krewe of Freret parade route! Thanks to your incredible efforts, The Mardi Gras Recycling Initiative allows for the reuse of  beads and other throws, as well as recyclable metals and plastics.  In addition, this reduces the volume of items sent to the landfill.
