BUT AREN’T LATEX BALLOONS BIODEGRADABLE?
Some are, kind of... Yes, balloons are latex and yes, latex is “biodegradable”. HOWEVER — it can take months or even years for some latex balloons to degrade and in the time it takes them to do so, the latex pieces still pose a threat to wildlife.

OKAY, BUT YOUR BUSINESS IS BALLOONS?
It is, but for all the reasons above — I have chosen to invest in a TerraCycle Zero Waste Box™. So, not only am I keeping balloons out of landfills and out of the tummies of precious wildlife, but they’re being recycled!
This means I will always make an effort to come back for your balloons — I’ll remove them from whatever structure they’re attached to, take them home, and recycle them. Less stress for you and less stress on the environment.
Then you can say you PARTIED SUSTAINABLY! Yay!!
Of course you can keep any of your balloons for as long as you please! My goal is simply to recycle as many of the balloons I use, as possible.
