Rehoboth Beach now offering pizza box disposal bins on the boardwalk

"Pizza is a staple of a beach diet," a city of Rehoboth Beach Facebook post says. Facts.

But if you've enjoyed a pizza in Rehoboth Beach, there's a good chance you've also spent some time trying to fit the box into an overly full trash can. So the city is trying something innovative: pizza box disposal bins.

There are 96 trash cans on the beach and 78 on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, city spokesperson Lynne Coan said. They're emptied three times a day, yet, at this time of year, people looking to properly dispose of trash often find them full.

So when Public Works Director Henry Matlosz saw pizza disposal bins on a recent trip to Ocean City, New Jersey, Coan said, he knew Rehoboth had to have them.

The city now offers two pizza disposal bins on the boardwalk, at Rehoboth and Baltimore avenues. Look for them next time you finish your Grotto's or Louie's.
