This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

"No food contact" in my area. Clean cardboard only.
do you.. not recycle any food packaging??
I recycle any food packaging my local recycling facility permits.
I mean if the recyclers state "no food contact" I'm assuming yes... Heck are they supposed to do
Usually my pizza comes on wax paper or the like, and the box is either grease free or close enough (like a tiny spot or two).
Or it's frozen/refrigerated, and wrapped on plastic, so, again, the box goes in recycle.
I don't put soiled things in recycle, but you can't tell, cause it rains often and everything ends up looking fucked.
In my locale, take-out pizza is usually provided directly on the interior surface of the pizza box, and so any grease spilling between slices or over the sides (garlic butter sauce on the crust dripping over the edge of the crust, for example) lands directly on the box.
