Eggsellent ways to recycle and compost your waste this Easter!

Hey there, Easter egg hunters!

Easter is all about fun, family, and, of course, those delicious chocolate eggs. But did you know that after you’ve unwrapped your delicious treat, you can make a positive impact on the environment by recycling the aluminum foil wrapping?

Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials out there. In fact, it can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality. So instead of tossing that shiny wrapper in the trash, let’s give it a second life!

  • Simply scrunch up your aluminium foil wrappers into the size of a small fist or medium size Easter egg, then pop them in the yellow lidded recycling bin.
  • Recycle the rigid moulded plastic containers, along with the cardboard boxes and Easter cards, in the yellow lidded recycling bin.

And don’t forget the scraps! If you’ve got any leftover bits of fruit or veggies from Easter meals, those can go straight into the green lidded bin or into your compost.

Thanks for making a small but mighty change this Easter. Happy hopping, and happy recycling (and composting)!
