But seriously: When it comes to plastic recycling, focus on the shape, not the number. The ""chasing arrows"" do NOT indicate whether you can recycle an item!

Plastic bottles, jars, jugs, tubs, and clear deli containers = recyclable. ♻️ Check our Smart Recycling Guide at RecycleSmartMA.org to find quick tips on what to put in your bin.

After his girlfriend insisted that their empty pizza box should go in the recycling bin, a local man, 32, turned to the Recyclopedia to try and prove her wrong.

"There's no way you can recycle that," he said. "Look, it has a grease stain on it."

Despite his confidence, the RecycleSmartMA.org search results clearly indicated that pizza boxes are recyclable. The man declined to provide further comment, but we're told the pizza box did, in fact, get successfully recycled.

While this "news" story is an April Fools joke, the fact that you can recycle pizza boxes is 100% real! Make sure your pizza boxes go in the recycling.
