French Quarter Management District is working with 15 hotels in the French Quarter and Downtown on a bead recycling program to provide free bead recycling services. Glass Half Full is facilitating the program and beads will be donated to ArcGNO. Bins will be available at participating hotels, including Hotel Monteleone, The Royal Sonesta New Orleans and Ritz Carlton, until March 10, 2025.
“In 2024, FQMD’s bead recycling program collected 3,346 pounds of beads. This year, we have proudly doubled the number of hotels participating in the program and assisting in our recycling efforts,” FQMD Executive Director Michelle Courseault said in a news release. Hotel owners or staff members interested in bringing the FQMD’s bead recycling program to their business can email pickups@glasshalffull.co or visit glasshalffull.co/mardi.
