GROUNDS KREWE IS A 501(c)(3) NON-PROFIT WITH A MISSION TO PROMOTE WASTE PREVENTION, RECYCLING & SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS AT NEW ORLEANS SPECIAL EVENTS.
Affordable, eco-friendly parade throws made from recycled, renewable and biodegradable materials that promote Louisiana products and people and support a great cause.
Letting the parade public recycle aluminum cans, glass and unwanted parade throws to benefit local non-profits and keep waste out of our streets, landfills and storm drains.
The “marching Krewe with a job to do” makes a statement by collecting recyclable waste from parade goers in an interactive and entertaining way instead of producing it.
Making our beloved NOLA events and festivals, both large and small, even better with waste prevention consultation, recycling services and specialized equipment rental.
See what full time positions we have open and upcoming opportunities to volunteer. Give back to your city next Carnival season. Join up with Grounds Krewe to help keep our neighborhoods clean and storm drains protected.
Gauge where your Krewe’s current sustainability efforts and future goals lie for a low waste Mardi Gras and use the ideas to encourage leadership to make your event better.
Building a ground up effort of parade goers and parade throwers asking for a more sustainable and healthy carnival season starts with a coalition of citizens making their voices heard.
Attend our monthly eco-happy hour, now co-hosted with Glass Half Full, to chat with locals working to improve our environment. It’s casual, inspiring and open to anyone who wants to join!
