Support The Zoo By Recycling Textiles
The Zoo has partnered with ECO World and Just Porch It to help you recycle your used clothes and other textiles. In the United States, over 11 million tons of textile waste end up in landfills each year. By recycling your unwanted items, you help give clothing a new life while reducing the demand on our landfills. Use the Zoo’s new on-site recycling bin during your next visit or schedule a free porch pick-up. In addition, Just Porch It will provide a share of the proceeds to the Zoo with a monthly donation to help us raise funds in a convenient and environmentally friendly way – it’s a win win for everyone!
