"Easter eggs and other gifts typically generate more waste, however, as Easter Egg Packaging can be recycled, it's important that we keep on recycling throughout the bank holiday weekend. Please check the council's website and social media for more information. Thank you for recycling and supporting the service. I hope that everyone has a great Easter and enjoys the bank holiday weekend!"
