I m pretty sure we can recycle them I always put them in my blue recycle bin never been told I shouldn’t and never read or heard any thing to say we can’t
In the summer I grow seeds in them ideal to put straight in the garden to melt away, cardboard is excellent for composting too

In the spring I used egg boxes for growing seeds.

Mine go in the recycle bin too.

I always recycle them with the cardboard.

Can anyone explain to me why you can recycle the cardboard from loo rolls but not eggs cartons? I used to take my egg boxes to a local farm but I don’t think they need them any more. I hate putting things into the bin to go to landfill. I’ve actually got a dustbin bag full of them but every time I go to put it in the bin I bring it back in again. I suppose there are worse things going into landfill but it still bothers me.
