Gorillas are on the brink of extinction. They're calling on YOU to help today!

One of the biggest threats to gorillas is the illegal mining of coltan, a mineral used in mobile phones - You can help save gorillas by donating your old phone.


How do old phones help gorillas? 

  • Money raised from donated mobile phones helps support rangers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
     
  • Phone refurbishment helps lessen the demand for coltan mining in gorilla habitat

Recycling your old phone couldn't be easier! You can:

  • Download and print a postage paid label for free postage

  • or pick up a pre-paid satchel, available at Melbourne Zoo

You can help others to help save gorillas
Collect more than 16 phones from your friends, workmates or at school and we'll provide free courier pick-up!

Simply fill out the registration form and start collecting today.
