ABQ BioPark had done an incredible job recycling gadgets!

the ABQ BioPark has been a participating location in ECO-CELL 's Gorillas on the Line recycling program since 2022!

Recycling cell phones and other electronics helps to reduce the impact of coltan mining in sensitive gorilla habitat, as well as raising money for gorilla conservation. Mining for coltan and other minerals for electronics affects countless other species, too.

This is your sign to gather your old cell phones, tablets, mp3 players, or GPS units and drop them off before the end of August. Collection boxes are located in the Aquarium & Botanic Garden plaza and inside the Zoo Administration office, they can be accessed during normal operating hours. Together, we can finish their 2026 recycling season strong!

Locate our conservation partner nearest to you and recycle that old drawer full of gadgets to benefit the Gorilla, Okapi, Flamingo and more!

Good day fellow Earthlings! Here's to gorillas, pitch apple blossoms, black spots on the map, bluebirds, bats, dog stinkhorns, and sitting still near a pond long enough so the frogs get going again.
