Did you know that almost 1/3 of the weight of an Easter egg is in the packaging? The good news is, you can recycle everything but the egg! The cardboard box, any plastic inserts and even the foil can all go in your home recycling bin, it’s just the chocolate egg that can’t.

Have a go at our ‘egg-cellent’ activity sheet to help keep the kids amused and learn more about Easter recycling.

Why not enter our competition too? You could win an insect house and bug hunting kit – perfect for spring!

No matter where you live in Norfolk, you can put the same items in your household recycling bin. Test your knowledge of what can and can’t go in your recycling bin at home against the clock.  Share this with your friends at the end of the game.
