Myth: Pizza boxes cannot be recycled on Fort Drum.
False: Pizza boxes CAN be recycled on Fort Drum, at work or at
home!
How do you recycle Fort Drum’s favorite take out? Empty the
container. A bit of grease, a bit of cheese, a stray pepperoni—
those are all fine and that pizza box can go in any cardboard
recycling bin, just take out the slices.
