'New Yorkers eat a lot of pizza. They eat so much pizza that the dish warrants
its own recycling bin.
Ahead of the summer season, Central Park now has a pizza box recycling bin in a
busy area adjacent to the Great Lawn, The Central Park Conservancy announced.
The pilot program is part of the citywide attempt to curb its rat population.
The new bin was "specifically designed" for the shape of pizza boxes, the
non-profit organization responsible for park maintenance said.
"The traditional circular waste bins are simply not designed to accommodate the
boxes, leading to jammed cans that can attract rodents," Central Park
Conservancy spokesperson Kat Brady added. "On a warm busy day, the Conservancy
can remove more than 100 boxes in this area of the Park alone."'
