Balloon Mission is the first balloon collection and recycling program in the U.S. dedicated to responsible balloon practices and eco-friendly celebrations.
Our mission is to raise awareness of the little-known but widespread problem of intentional balloon releases, inspire a Pop-n-Drop movement for post-event balloons, and prevent the unintended harm of balloon litter on land and sea.
Our nonprofit drives meaningful environmental change through a collaborative approach, public education, and outreach programs that inspire stewardship. With innovative, sustainable solutions and eco-friendly alternatives to releases, we engage industry and lawmakers to end the hazardous impacts of single-use balloons on people, animals, and the natural world.
“Collect – Protect – Preserve” is more than Balloon Mission’s motto; it is our calling.
