Plastic eggs are commonly used during Easter egg hunts and for decoration. Instead of throwing them in the trash, there are several responsible options for recycling or reusing them.

Recycling:

Plastic eggs can typically be recycled with other plastic items in your local recycling program. Check with your municipality or recycling center for specific guidelines on what types of plastic are accepted.

Reuse:

If the plastic eggs are still in good condition, consider reusing them for future Easter egg hunts or as storage containers for small items like jewelry or craft supplies.

Donation:

If you have a large quantity of plastic eggs that you no longer need, consider donating them to local schools, daycares, or community centers. They can use them for future events or crafts.

Note: Plastic eggs are not considered hazardous or a safety risk.
