Mardi Gras recycling helps ArcGNO turn beads into jobs for individuals with autism, Down syndrome, and other intellectual disabilities! We place donation bins throughout the community year-round with expanded locations during carnival.

Arc of Greater New Orleans (ArcGNO) asked you to “throw us something mister,” and you did!

We want to thank our community partners for hosting a bead recycle bin so that everyone had the opportunity to donate to a great cause this Mardi Gras season. We had over 70 locations and more than 125 bins placed around the community and collected over 173 tons of throws in 2019.
