@joshuacharow: In 1991, Treb Heining was asked to create an effect that would transform the New Years Eve ball drop in Times Square. In response, he created the “confetti blizzard” that consists of 80 trusted volunteers to disperse confetti by hand from the rooftops of Time Square. For the past 34 years, Treb has continued to lead this effect and bring magic to New York City. To learn more about Treb and the confetti blizzard tradition, I made a full documentary linked in my bio. The confetti that’s used is made from 100% recycled material that would otherwise be discarded, and is biodegradable. After the event, DSNY crews promptly clean up the debris.
