Actually, the current Seattle recycling sheet says that food-soiled coated paper goes in the trash. If your take-out containers aren't waxed, they can go in yard waste. It's complicated -- I keep the flyer up on our fridge for easy reference.

wait, seriously? I keep that flyer, too, but i swear it has pictures of take-out containers on it. Maybe these are uncoated.
