    I was going to laugh at ‘pizza box’ being in English, but apparently the Dutch for ‘pizza box’ is ‘pizza box.’

    The big slot is obviously for novelty sized currency coins.

    Also you cannot recycle pizza boxes. This was one of the reasons why China started refusing cardboard from the US for recycling. The grease screws up the recycling process and basically the batch is ruined.

      That’s a pretty old rule. Last decade or so most recycling programs support and encourage pizza box recycling. Check with your local center.

      And they literally put it in the box, telling me to recycle it.

      Pizza boxes are technically recyclable, it’s just that they have to be recycled differently to other recyclable products due to the food particulates left behind on the boxes, and also other recyclable products cannot be contaminated by the same food particulates, hence why they likely have a separate section for pizza boxes.

      That rule varies by location. Some facilities can handle pizza boxes, but not all of them can. It’s best to call your local facility to make sure.

      Maybe the special slot allows them easy separation and then they burn it.

    Who wants to bet someone took a big pizza box, folded it in half, and tried to fit it in the main chute, but it got stuck?

    Then they added in the pizza slot for the pizza sluts.

            But that’s not this. You can see the opening on the other side.

      Domino’s and New York Pizza. In case you accidentally bought a cardboard pizza there, now you can just throw it away without issue.
