Balloons & The Environment
We are committed to the protection of the environment and encourage everyone to become familiar with the facts and guidelines below.
- Latex balloons are totally biodegradable.
- Latex balloons are made of 100% natural latex.
- A latex balloon will biodegrade in about the same amount of time as an oak leaf.
- Latex balloons should not be released with ribbon or any other attachments.
- A foil balloon should never be released outdoors.
- Do not tie helium-filled foil balloons together in a cluster with just one weight; rather, weight each foil balloon down separately and then tie the group together.
- Never tie metallic ribbon to a helium-filled foil balloon.
- Call the power company if balloons are entangled in power lines.
- Properly dispose of foil balloons by cutting to release air or helium and then place in a trash can.
- REMEMBER-All balloons should be weighted-ALWAYS!
