Pizza boxes

Clean, empty, cardboard pizza boxes can be recycled in the yellow recycling bin. Leftover pizza or food crumbs can be composted in the green bin. 

If the pizza box has a little bit of residue inside, that’s okay. However, if it is oily or greasy, then that part of the cardboard is contaminated. In this case, tear the box in half and put the clean half in the yellow recycling bin and the dirty half in the red general waste bin.

If your pizza comes with a small plastic pizza topper (the ones that look like a miniature table), this goes in the red general waste bin.
