Recycle DAT!’s signature program. During weekend day parades on the two weekends leading up to Mardi Gras, the public can now recycle aluminum cans, glass and plastic bottles and unwanted parade throws to benefit local non-profits. Staffed recycling stations along both Napoleon & St. Charles Ave will maintain and process recycling receptacles placed along the route. Additionally, these stations distribute crawfish sacks that can be filled with clean throws to be recycled and returned.

A two-fold reward program for individuals making Carnival season more sustainable. First, Parade goers who turn in full bags of cans, bottles or throws at recycling stations during the route recycling program are eligible to win prizes as part of a sweepstakes from local sponsors. Second, used cans brought by the public to EMR Recycling in mid-city from Feb 19th to March 5th, 2025 can be redeemed for cash at double market rate thanks to Every Can Counts.

Following the King Arthur day parade a crew of 12 workers with rolling bins, pickers and a box truck will sweep a section of the parade route to capture all discarded aluminum cans before city sanitation clean up.
