I love good design.
Can’t people just… Smush the boxes in? Lol
There just be a lot of Domino’s pizzas there. I get it
Domino’s and New York Pizza. In case you accidentally bought a cardboard pizza there, now you can just throw it away without issue.
This looks exactly like the speed cameras where I live. So I thought this was some kind of civil disobiedience post.
are pizza boxes made out of unfoldable materials over there?
It could be to separe the greasy box with clean cardboard/paper
But it looks like it all goes into the same place.
They can have different bags
But that’s not this. You can see the opening on the other side.
made out of metal probably.
Wtf
How is the most American thing I’ve ever seen actually Dutch?
The big slot is obviously for novelty sized currency coins.
Nah I use those as weights
Need these in [insert region whose local pizza you hate].
Also you cannot recycle pizza boxes. This was one of the reasons why China started refusing cardboard from the US for recycling. The grease screws up the recycling process and basically the batch is ruined.
Where I live we’re now supposed to put pizza boxes in the yard waste/civic compost bin
Pizza boxes are technically recyclable, it’s just that they have to be recycled differently to other recyclable products due to the food particulates left behind on the boxes, and also other recyclable products cannot be contaminated by the same food particulates, hence why they likely have a separate section for pizza boxes.
That rule varies by location. Some facilities can handle pizza boxes, but not all of them can. It’s best to call your local facility to make sure.
I find this hard to believe, but I’ve also done zero research. I have, however, dropped off many old pizza boxes at various places, and they always accept them for recycling. Maybe it’s just more expensive and labor-intensive, but I doubt it’s impossible…
That’s a pretty old rule. Last decade or so most recycling programs support and encourage pizza box recycling. Check with your local center.
“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.
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.
Maybe the special slot allows them easy separation and then they burn it.
And they literally put it in the box, telling me to recycle it.
Who wants to bet someone took a big pizza box, folded it in half, and tried to fit it in the main chute, but it got stuck?
Then they added in the pizza slot for the pizza sluts.
TIL - There’s actually a pizza joint in Florida US called Pizza Slut XD https://www.pizzaslut.biz/

Well, shit! They’re local! How about that?
Always in the rear?
That’s a good false-friend. Bak apparently means “bin” in Dutch.
To a norwegian, dutch is a bit like trying to interpret a very, very drunk person. You think you get the gist of what they’re saying but you’re just not entirely sure.
Yep, my Swedish brain would walk around that container looking for the special hole for garbage, and then realizing all those holes go to the same place.
As a Norwegian, that’s what I read, “alltid inn bak”.
Dutch civil engineering is so legit lol.
I was going to laugh at ‘pizza box’ being in English, but apparently the Dutch for ‘pizza box’ is ‘pizza box.’
Funny, here in Germany, it’s FLACHKUCHENSCHACHTEL.
Actually it’s “pizzadoos”.
This is for the well-behaved, for the others, it’s “pizzadonts”.
Good one, but it’s actually pronounced like “pizza dose”. This is of course because they contain a single dose of pizza.
Automated translation deceives me once again!
Yo tengo el gato los pantalones

The explanation for why it’s in English is likely that it would be foreigners eating pizza in the park. Amsterdammers would probably just take it home to eat.
Amsterdammers will have pizza delivered bij thuisbezord.nl. This is definately for tourists in places like Vondelpark.
Yeah, Vondelpark is also the only place I saw them (and the picture looks like it too), but I am just a tourist too (albeit a frequent one).
