Easter has come and gone, but many still have plastic Easter eggs leftover from holiday festivities. Because most recycling facilities do not accept Easter eggs, you may wonder what to do with the leftover eggs. Recycling may not be an option. However, there are several creative ways to upcycle plastic Easter eggs rather than just throwing them away. Repurposing old or leftover Easter eggs helps prevent them from ending up in waste streams, where they cannot be broken down, harming the environment.
Listed below are some ideas for Easter egg reuse, most of which can be washed and reused multiple times.
Last but not least, reuse the same Easter eggs for the following Easter. Shiny new eggs can be fun to purchase, but consider reusing old eggs until they can no longer be used. Plastic Easter eggs are rarely accepted at recycling facilities and, therefore, often end up in landfills or the ocean, where they can harm plant and animal life. Finding methods of continued reuse helps prevent such occurrences and can save consumers the money they usually spend on new eggs every year.
