Latex and foil balloon recycling
Amscan® is the world’s largest designer, manufacturer, and distributor of party products, including balloons. Together with Terracycle, they have created the Latex & Foil Balloon Free Recycling Program. Simply head in store to a participating retailer to drop off your used or unwanted items, and they will be sent to Terracycle for recycling.
In WA, you can recycle your latex and foil balloons at a participating Red Dot store.
You can recycle any brand of:
-
Foil balloons
-
Latex balloons
-
Latex balloons treated with hi- float and hi-shine
This program does not accept:
-
Prefilled confetti balloons
-
Ribbon & balloon weights
-
Closure clips
-
Balloon sticks & stick cups
-
Packaging & other party accessories
Amscan and Amscan Partners sponsor this national recycling program making it free for you to participate.
Customers are also encouraged to ‘pin it and bin it’ so balloons can’t fly away and become harmful litter in the environment.
Balloon alternatives
You can also choose to not use balloons at all – there are lots of alternatives for a fabulous, festive party.
