Balloons make outdoor events beautiful and fun, but improper disposal can harm the environment and wildlife. At Celebration Creations in Manahawkin, NJ we create stunning balloon decor while promoting eco-friendly practices. No matter what material balloons are made from, if it’s biodegradable latex or foil balloons we make sure our decor is both beautiful and green.
Proper balloon disposal and the benefits of biodegradable balloons reduce the environmental impact of balloons. We can all do our part to protect the planet while we celebrate.
Balloon Impact
Balloons bring joy to celebrations, but they must be used and disposed of responsibly—especially outdoors. When released or improperly discarded, they can pollute oceans, forests, and other habitats, posing serious risks to wildlife. Animals may ingest balloon pieces or become entangled in balloon ribbons, leading to injury or death.
Even biodegradable balloons take time to break down, and during that period, they remain hazardous to the environment. Mylar and helium-filled balloons are especially problematic, as they can travel long distances and become harmful marine or land debris. Choosing biodegradable materials helps, but proper disposal is essential to minimizing environmental impact.
Celebration Creations Eco Friendly Balloon Materials
At Celebration Creations we use eco friendly materials for all our balloon decor services. We choose high quality biodegradable latex balloons over rubber and foil. Biodegradable balloons are designed to break down over time just like natural materials do. This is much better than non biodegradable balloons which can last for decades and contribute to balloon litter and harm to wildlife.
As a member of the pro environment balloon alliance we are committed to reducing our footprint. The balloon industry is finally realizing the importance of sustainability and biodegradable materials are a step in the right direction. But we need to remember that even biodegradable balloons need to be disposed of properly. If not they can still harm the environment during their breakdown. We encourage everyone to use balloons responsibly and dispose of them in a way that protects our planet.
Balloon Disposal
Balloons can add so much fun to any event but we need to handle them responsibly to protect the environment. One of the most important practices is never to release balloons into the air. Released balloons can travel far and cause harm such as becoming litter or harming wildlife.
To have a responsible celebration event organizers and clients should have a post event balloon disposal plan.
Here’s how to dispose of balloons properly: pop balloons and put them in a secure trash bin to prevent them from being blown away by wind or animals. If your area has recycling programs for balloon waste especially for non latex materials take advantage of these eco friendly options.

Why Disposal is Everyone’s Responsibility
Public Education
Raising awareness about improper balloon disposal is key to protecting our environment. Many people don’t know how balloons can harm the environment if not disposed of properly. By educating the public we can show how simple actions like popping balloons and throwing them away properly can make a big difference in keeping our natural habitats safe and clean.
Community Responsibility
Balloon disposal is a shared responsibility. Event organizers, guests and balloon decor providers must work together to make sure all balloons are disposed of properly. By working together we can establish and follow practices to prevent balloons from becoming environmental hazards.
