Your smartphone comes at a high cost to wildlife, but our Phone Apes program can help change that 🦍 Consider donating your old devices to your Toronto Zoo's Phone Apes program 📱 Many of the materials used to make cell phones, like coltan, are mined from the forests of the Congo, home to the critically endangered Western lowland gorillas. By recycling your old devices, you help reduce the demand to mine the habitats that they call home. Each year, millions of cell phones end up in landfills, adding up to approximately 65,000 tonnes of waste! Instead, donate your old phones to the Zoo’s Phone Apes program by dropping them off during your next visit, during special collection weekends at the front entrance or by mailing them to the Zoo. We ensure 100% landfill-free recycling, allowing materials like coltan to be reused while protecting wildlife habitats.
