How can I reuse or recycle … pizza boxes?

Categories: food and the like, items, kitchen, packaging

Pizza in a box
It’s Friday and it’s been a busy week at Recycle This Mansions so we are, I very much suspect, going to be dialling in for food tonight.

We’re lucky that we’ve got a few good pizza places in the vicinity so will be on cheese-highs by bedtime (weee, cheese dreams!) but we’ll wake up remorseful tomorrow, after our binge tonight, because we won’t know what to do with the cardboard pizza boxes that will be covering the living room floor.

We usually just fling them in the cardboard-recycling bin but any other suggestions?

Compost ‘em. Not much else, cos they smell.

They already absorbed some oil, why not make them absorb more? Use them to soak up small oil leaks.

If food/oil-free, then repurpose as clothing gift box (shirt, pants…).

If you can manage to keep the grease off the box itself, they are great for storing quilts in progress.

Also, When my boys were small we had a pizza-themed birthday party and we used a pizza box to make a pinata.
