Enjoy the parades and help keep Lafayette clean and enjoyable for everyone.
Mardi Gras is more than just a celebration—it’s a beloved tradition we’re proud of here in Lafayette. But with every float, bead, and crowd, comes a growing waste that clogs storm drains and harms our waterways. The good news? Small actions make a big impact.
Recycle Your Beads
Got leftover beads? Don’t toss them. Drop them in one of the bead recycling bins placed around Lafayette after the parade. It’s an easy way to reduce waste and keep the tradition alive.
Keep Lafayette Beautiful
Mardi Gras is all about coming together as a community to celebrate. Let’s honor this cherished tradition by keeping our Parish clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy!
