Make a Difference – Recycle Your Old Cell Phone, iPod, and other Small Electronics!
While you can recycle your old devices throughout the year, Gorillas on the Line … Answer the Call is an annual global mobile phone recycling challenge organized by the Gorilla SAFE engagement team with participants from across the country and around the globe. Como Park Zoo and Conservatory is partnering with the Gorillas on the Line Campaign to collect cell phones and other small electronic devices that will be shipped back to ECO-CELL to be recycled.
Join Como Zoo in saving gorillas:
Look around your home—you might have one or two outdated devices laying around!
Spread the word—Reach out to your family and friends and see if they have any old devices that can be recycled.
Visit Como Zoo and bring your old devices in!
Bring your phones to Como Zoo to recycle
ANY kind of cell phone will be accepted – even the big, heavy ones from years ago that wouldn’t come close to fitting in your pocket now. Along with cell phones, we are also accepting iPads, iPods, tablets, apple watches, adapters, chargers, mp3 players, handheld gaming systems, and headphones. For each cell phone received, a donation will be made to Como Friends, Como Park Zoo & Conservatory’s partner in conservation.
You can drop your cell phone off with any member of the Como Team or deposit it in the collection bin in the Visitor Center.
Come monkey around with us for a weekend full of fun and conservation!
