Happy Easter!
What did the Easter bunny leave you? If you’re looking for alternatives to plastic easter eggs this season, try these fabric easter eggs! These won’t crack like traditional easter eggs, and are also a great way to reuse scrap materials. Remember, plastic easter eggs are not recyclable and neither are many candy wrappers.
Recycle:
– Treats in cardboard containers: Dots, boxes of M&M’s, skittles, milk duds, and raisins
– Candy wrapped in tin foil (NOT thin metal lined plastic): Chocolates and chocolate bars. See our tin foil recycling post for more information.
– Consider buying bulk candies and snack mixes from zero waste stores and grocery stores
Don’t Recycle:
– Plastic Easter eggs
– Thin plastic Wrappers (like KitKat, Crunch Bars, Twizzlers and Reese’s)
– Thin metal wrappers (like Lindt chocolate and chip bags)
– Thin Plastic bags used for bulk candy packaging
– Wax paper wrappers (like starbursts)
