We are not currently accepting cell phones and small electronics for recycling while the SF Teaching Zoo is closed. Life Unplastic is currently still accepting these items for recycling. When we reopen, we will resume collecting these items for Gorillas on the Line.
Gorillas on the Line... Answer the Call!
We are joining Gorilla SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) and the Gorilla Species Survival Plan for Gorillas on the Line… Answer the Call!. This global program aims to increase recycling of cell phones and small electronics in an effort protect habitats for gorillas and other wildlife in Central Africa, where materials are mined.
Until September 24, 2020 you can recycle smartphones, cell phones, iPods, iPads, tablets and mp3 players as well as the chargers and accessories that come with them at our Zoo gift shop. Our friends at Life Unplastic will also be accepting these items. Thank you for helping us answer the call!
