how does recycling a cell phone help a gorilla?
Recycling cell phones reduces mining for coltan, an ore used in cell phones, in gorilla habitat and raises money for the Zoo’s Conservation Fund. Cell phone collection boxes are located at the Zoo's main ticketing office and at the Gorilla World exhibit.
