Easter eggs: Sainsbury's to offer dedicated packaging recycling bins | Environment | theguardian.com: "Sainsbury's is to become the first UK retailer to offer customers a dedicated recycling facility in store for all their Easter egg packaging, as part of its drive to cut the amount of household waste still going into landfill.

Customers will be able to recycle all elements of the discarded packaging – plastic, film, card, foil and ribbon – in the first such facility of its kind.

Free-standing compartmentalised bins are being trialled this Easter in 50 stores with a view to a national rollout next year. The rigid plastic typically used to protect Easter egg shells is often not accepted by local authorities for recycling."
