How to dispose

There are two ways to dispose of pizza boxes depending on whether they have a lot or little amount of grease.

Some grease or clean

  • Put into your blue cart or take to a community recycling depot

Put clean pizza boxes (some grease is okay) for recycling:

  • Into your blue cart
  • Take to a community recycling depot

A lot of grease, sauce and food chunks

  • Put into your green cart

Put the pizza liner and food-soiled pizza boxes (dried-on cheese, food chunks, sauce splatters, etc.) into your green cart for composting. This includes the corrugated cardboard sheets and parchment paper sheets.

Put leftover pizza, chicken wings and food scraps into your green cart for composting.

Special instructions

Put dipping sauce containers and plastic pegs into your black cart.
