Come raise money for wildlife, learn about conservation and celebrate a healthier planet with the Fort Worth Zoo.

Join our 2009 Party for the Planet celebration by bringing your used cell phones with you to Zoo Run and we'll recycle them!
We'll also accept empty inkjet and laser cartridges, video games, video game consoles, digital cameras, laptops, PDAs/Palm Pilots, iPods and DVDs. By recycling your items, you benefit the environment and also earn cash for the Fort Worth Zoo! All proceeds support our global conservation efforts and our animal enrichment program.
