Where do pizza boxes go?
If clean it goes in paper; if greasy or soiled with food, it generally goes in food waste (umido) or residual waste, depending on the municipality.
What to do
- Separate the clean part (paper) from the dirty part, which you can tear off.
- Leftover food goes in food waste (umido).
What to avoid
- Do not put greasy parts in paper: they compromise recycling.
Why it varies from municipality to municipality
Some municipalities accept greasy cardboard in food waste (umido), others ask for it to go in residual waste. Each municipality chooses with its operator which bins to use and what can go in them.
This page summarises a general, cautious rule: the real rules vary from municipality to municipality and from operator to operator (colour of bags, accepted waste, days, collection points). If in doubt, what your municipality or the service operator indicates prevails.
Check your municipality's rules
