Donate your old cell phone or ink cartriges to the Zoo!!!

Have an old cell phone that doesn't work or isn't getting used? Old, empty ink cartriges just lying around? You could really help out the Henry Vilas Zoo by dropping these iteams off in the gift shop collection point year round. You may also drop off cell phones at The Red Gym (716 Langdon St) or Affiliated Engineers (5802 Research Park Blvd). If your buisnees would like to host an eco-cell box please email Ann at ann@vilaszoo.org.
It's so important that you take your empty ink cartriges and old cell phones to the zoo! It helps raise funds for the zoo, plus save the planet as well. The cartriges and cell phones get recycled into newer versions of themselves and sold cheaper in Europe. The recycled phones also get used as emergency cell phones for people in need.
In cell phones, a certain mineral is needed, and mining for this mineral has caused a dangerous threat to gorrillas who live where the mineral is found. If we contine to mine, then we contine to harm our gorrilas and eventually, they will go extinct.

You can do your part and help by donating your old cell phone or ink cartriges to the Henry Vilas Zoo today!

Thanks!
