Recycling - Pizza boxes

Pizza boxes

We cannot accept food contaminated containers such as pizza boxes in your blue bin for recycling. Some cardboard collected for recycling is used to make new food packaging. Grease or food residue left on a pizza box could contaminate the new packaging potentially causing a food hygiene issue. Pizza boxes with food residue such as oil, cheese, toppings or sauces should be placed in your grey bin for disposal.
