PizzaBox2 is an AI-powered platform that determines pizza box recyclability across 26,000+ U.S. jurisdictions. It combines Google's Gemini AI with grounded web search to research and classify recycling policies at the county and municipality level — nationwide.
Gemini AI with Google Search grounding queries authoritative .gov sites and hauler websites to determine each jurisdiction's pizza box recycling policy in real time.
Source pages are crawled and screenshotted as visual evidence. Key excerpts are extracted and preserved so every determination is traceable to an official source.
Each jurisdiction receives a designation — Explicitly Accepted, Explicitly Denied, Implicitly Allowed/Banned, Mixed, or Unknown — with a confidence score based on source clarity and directness.
The system identifies who operates the recycling program — the municipality, county, or a contracted private hauler like Waste Management, Republic Services, or Waste Connections.
Results are matched to U.S. Census TIGER/Line boundaries and rendered as an interactive vector tile map covering every county and incorporated municipality in the nation.
