Tell One Friend: Put Pizza Boxes in the Recycling

 The City asks Edmontonians to put pizza boxes in recycling, as long as there is only a reasonable amount of grease or residue.

  • Please remove the little plastic table.

  • Please remove the wax or paper liner.

  • Please remove bits of food and cheese.
