Fun trivia in case you didn't know: that's a domino's advertisement printed on their pizza box in which the box claims to "dream of being another box." It's actually horrible for the recycling stream. Essentially every legitimate recycler explicitly states that grease- and cheese-contaminated cardboard is not allowed to be recycled because it degrades the quality of the recycled product and causes messes at recycling facilities.
So basically, this dream is a manufactured corporate lie and belongs exactly where we see it.
(Well alright fine, if you need good news, the good news is that in some areas while they still don't belong in recycling bins, pizza boxes can go in your green bin compost. Although this is heavily dependent on where you live and what type of compost stream is used there. Don't assume it's ok to recycle or compost without checking, and never trust the packaging labels!)
