Greasy Pizza Boxes? Not for Recycling | Leicester News
Description
Greasy pizza boxes? They’re not recyclable — here’s why: grease ruins paper recycling by making it rancid, attracting pests, and contaminating entire batches. Even if the top is clean, any grease on the box means general waste. Plastic tableware? Also general waste — it’s hard plastic. Only greaseproof paper boxes that stay clean can go in recycling. Avoid “wish-cycling” — one dirty item can spoil a whole load. Play it safe, and check your local council’s rules for food waste.
