Donate your Cell Phone to Help Gorillas
By recycling your phones, you help protect animals like western lowland gorillas that live in areas where cell phone materials are mined. We participate with zoos and aquariums across the globe in the “Gorillas on the Line” mobile phone recycling challenge to help save gorillas in the wild.
Donate your electronic device at Franklin Park Zoo or Stone Zoo any time we're open, or better yet, start your own collection drive! We’ll work with your group, class, team, organization or workplace to join the recycling challenge!
"Getting Started" Toolkit
Steps for starting your own cell phone collection drive:
- Register below. Once registered, we'll reach out with materials, assistance and motivation when you need it.
- Design a collection box, distribute flyers, or create social media posts to promote your conservation efforts. See below for downloadable printables.
- Start collecting!
- When your box is filled, send us the box weight and return address. Our recycling partner, Eco-Cell, will provide a free shipping label to send phones directly to them. You can also drop off donations at Franklin Park Zoo or Stone Zoo any time we're open.
