What can you do with all those plastic Easter eggs? and last updated 2021-04-05 20:18:06-04 LAFAYETTE, La. â The Easter Bunny has gone, and left us with toys, candy, bits of plastic green grass floating all over the house - and those plastic eggs. As we begin to pick up our Easter decorations, some may be wondering what to do with all of those leftover plastic Easter eggs. Lafayette Consolidated Government is urging the community to not throw away or recycle the eggs, but rather find a way to repurpose them. "We're trying to get the message out to make people realize that those plastic eggs cannot go into our recycling system," says Bess Foret and manager of Environmental Quality at LCG.
