Clean pizza boxes should be recycled, and dirty pizza boxes can be taken home to your green organics bin. Just remember to take all those little plastic “tables” out of the box and any other non-paper trash.
When you can’t “pack it out” after a day at the beach, look for one of the City’s new pizza recycling bins. These recycling bins will be rolled out during summertime events such as Concerts at the Cove and Beach/Park Movie Nights, and all boxes will be composted – so again, please remove all plastic inside the box. Together we can keep Solana Beach Clean and Green! | | San Diego County Sheriff's Office 75th Anniversary | | San Diego County Sheriff's Office.
