Reduce your carbon footprint while directly benefitting the zoo! The Elmwood Park Zoo Docent Council runs a program to recycle/upcycle items that typically can't go in your regular recycling collection. We've partnered with TERRACYCLE to save these items from the landfill and turn them into fabulous recycled products. The zoo earns money from the items we collect, so bring us anything and everything you can from the following list of items: Stackable yogurt containers (any brand) Empty toothpaste tubes Toothbrushes (any brand, no boxes) Chip, pretzel, or tortilla chip bags (any brand) Candy wrappers and bags (even mini) Energy bar wrappers Juice pouches Cookie wrappers, bags and plastic inserts (no boxes) Personal care packaging (shampoo, shaving, hairspray, conditioner, soap, gels, lotions) Tortilla wrap packaging Brand cheese packaging All Kashi packaging Ink carts Cell phones and electronics Keyboards and computer mice Empty tape dispensers and/or round plastic centers All brands plastic wrapping from around paper products (paper towels, toilet tissue) We'll be collecting your items at our Admissions counter. Thank you for your commitment to conservation and your contribution to the zoo!
