Denbighshire County Council is encouraging residents to make recycling part of their plans this Easter, offering tips on how to dispose of packaging, cards, and food waste.
The council confirmed that waste and recycling collections will continue as normal over the Easter period.
Paul Jackson, head of highways and environmental services at Denbighshire County Council, said: "Easter can produce an increase in items at home that are recyclable.
"We want to encourage residents to continue to support making a difference to the Denbighshire environment by choosing the right options to recycle these items and I’d like to thank them for their fantastic efforts."
Many Easter eggs now come in reduced or more recyclable packaging.
Residents are advised to flatten cardboard boxes and place them in their blue bags, and to recycle plastic trays where possible.
Recycled materials can be used to make items like cereal boxes, egg boxes, or packaging parcels.
Most foil from Easter eggs can also be recycled.
The council suggests scrunching the foil into a ball and, if it stays scrunched, placing it in the foil recycling container.
If it springs back, it’s likely laminated and should go in the non-recyclable waste bin.
Easter cards, along with their envelopes, can be recycled if they’re free from glitter or foil.
Cards with glitter or foil should be placed in the non-recyclable waste bin.
For Easter meals, the council encourages families to reuse surplus food where possible.
Inedible leftovers, such as eggshells, should be placed in the food waste bin.
Garden waste can also be recycled through the council’s collection service.
Those wishing to use the service are reminded to sign up for collections running between April 2026 and the end of March 2027.
The council also points residents to its online A-Z recycling guide for further information on what can and cannot be recycled.
Mr Jackson said: "I’d like to thank residents for their fantastic efforts."
