pizza and the modern life

serynI have a stupid question. Why are there trash chutes that are too small for a 16" pizza box?
I don't use the trash chute in the building much. A lot of our outgoing waste is recyclable. I don't notice the tiny aperture when it's bathroom trash. But there was a missive that came around decreeing that pizza boxes were not recyclable. So, since they're specifically trash, it brings us back to the problem of the small trash chute. I wonder if super-modern buildings have chutes for recyclables.
I did envy something about Poirot's flat... they have a little door in the kitchen that goes to an interior stairway and one sets one's bin outside the little door for the magic rubbish fairies to take away.
ps. I still lust after the drapes in the various Sherlock Holmes series. Which isn't really relevant but as long as we're talking about British media set in archaic times, I might as well add in my off-topic thing... at least I didn't ramble on about the dresses and balls in Austen books.... but honestly I don't think American men now would allow their rooms to have Sherlock Holmes's drapes. The drapes are floral but on a black field and instead of lace, they have those pompoms. It's not at all insipid. Who decided that men can't like floral patterns? It's probably the same people who decreed that my genetics mean I like pink and should only dress in wimpy colors. Those drapes are gorgeous. pps. They'd look fantastic next to my fantasy dining table....
