Cardboard shouldn't go in the green bin AFAIK.
Cardboard can. As mentioned above, pizza boxes that are soiled should get composted, as do the cardboard bags used for leaves, etc.

They just don't highlight that cardboard can be put in the green bin because then you'd have dumb people putting cardboard with tape, stickers, glossy printing, etc, in it because "hurrrrr they told me to compost it!". They are clear that dirty pizza boxes should get composed because they cause issues in recycling and they'd rather deal with a bit of plastic/stickers from those boxes in the compost than deal with 1000s of un-recyclable pizza boxes in the blue bins.

I'm asking about plain jane, no tape, no plastic/color printing, etc on it cardboard and other similar items.
