Just remove stuck on food and recycle it along with other mixed paper.

If the pizza box is too greasy or has too much food stuck on it, try composting the greasy parts instead!

Wondering what to do with your old analog television?

You don’t have to get rid of it.  Converter boxes are available that plug into your TV to keep it working after Feb. 17, 2009, once all television broadcasting goes digital. A TV connected to cable, satellite or other pay TV service does not require a TV converter box.  Visit https://www.dtv2009.gov/ for information on how and where to purchase a converter box.
