GROUNDS KREWE IS A 501(c)(3) NON-PROFIT WITH A MISSION TO PROMOTE WASTE PREVENTION, RECYCLING & SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS AT NEW ORLEANS SPECIAL EVENTS.

 
 

Grounds Krewe Initiatives:

SUSTAINABLE THROW CATALOG

Affordable, eco-friendly parade throws made from recycled, renewable and biodegradable materials that promote Louisiana products and people and support a great cause.

PARADE RECYCLING

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.

‘TRASHFORMERS’ KREWE

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.

EVENTS WASTE REDUCTION

Making our beloved NOLA events and festivals, both large and small, even better with waste prevention consultation, recycling services and specialized equipment rental.
