Yes, in general empty and clean pizza boxes should be recycled. However sometimes they are heavily contaminated with grease and food. The grease and food waste doesn't dissolve in the paper recycling process and creates a contaminant in the recycled paper, reducing its quality. If the bottom of the pizza box is very greasy then tear off the top and place the bottom in the garbage (or compost) and the top in the recycling bin. No one wants to see a piece of salami in their next cardboard box...so make sure its empty before recycling pizza boxes.

No. Cardboard pizza boxes can't be recycled because of the cheese and oil residue. The primary contaminant to avoid in paper recycling is food waste. Never recycle any paper products with food or organic matter on them. Do not recycle paper plates.
