Be an Eco Hero! Preserve the planet & prevent plastic balloon litter!
Many people aren’t aware of the harm balloons can cause when released into the environment.
That’s why the Northport East Northport Public Library has teamed up with Balloon Mission to raise awareness in our community about responsible ways to enjoy balloons—without harming wildlife or contributing to plastic pollution. Together, we’re working to protect animals, shores, and the planet from the dangers of single-use plastic litter.
We are collecting used balloons and related materials. Look for the Balloon Bins located at both the Northport and East Northport library buildings.
The bins accept:
- deflated foil/mylar and ribbons
- latex/rubber and ribbons
- water balloons (all pieces)
- ...and found balloon litter and ribbons
