Donate Your Mobile

They're Calling on You

Gorilla’s are on the brink of extinction. They’re calling on YOU to donate your phone today!

You can now help save Gorilla’s in Africa simply by donating your mobile phone! Each time your mobile phone rings, a tiny piece of metallic ore from Africa is making this call possible: coltan. The mining of this commodity within the Congo River Basin is contributing to forest loss and unrest in the region, and is accelerating the loss of mountain gorillas at an alarmingly fast rate.

By donating your phone through the They’re Calling on You mobile phone recycling program you are:

• Diverting your phone from landfill
• Helping Melbourne Zoo raise money to support the Jane Goodall Institutes primate conservation work in Africa through the sale of refurbished phones and…
• Lessening the demand for coltan mining by providing the coltan coated capacitor in your old mobile phone a second life.

Bring your old phone along to the Bentleigh Market and drop it off so you can be part of this wonderful initiative.
