Did you know?
The average American consumes about 46 slices of pizza per year, and Super Bowl Sunday is historically the biggest day for pizza sales contributing to a 35 percent spike in deliveries. This year Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 8) falls one day ahead of National Pizza Day (Feb. 9).
All this pizza talk has Solid Waste Services wondering... do you know how to dispose of your pizza boxes?
Pizza box bottoms are typically greasy, which eliminates the possibility of recycling the cardboard. However, pizza box tops often remain grease free. If there is no grease on the top, simply remove it and throw it in your recycling bin.
Many boxes are perforated allowing you to remove the top easily. If no perforation, just cut the top to remove and place the bottom in the trash.
Remember to know before you throw this National Pizza Day!
