Big News: That Greasy, Cheesy Pizza Box IS Recyclable

“… the AFPA just responded with new industry guidance: Pizza boxes are recyclable. Consumers need only make sure that they empty the boxes of stray slices and crust, plus any chicken wings, sauce containers, pizza savers, and anything else that might be left inside. (Pizza savers, those little three-legged plastic tables that keep the cheese from sticking to the top of the box, are sadly too small to be recycled.) There is no longer any excuse to hold onto this oldest, and most common, of recycling myths.” – Sierra Club
