THE 3 R's

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo is always looking for ways to help keep the environment a little greener and here are some of the ways we are helping:

General Recycling

Visitors can help with the recycling program by depositing their plastic or glass bottles and cans in the applicable containers provided throughout the Zoo.

Staff members recycle all paper products, aluminum, glass, construction recycling, oil filters, batteries, cardboard and plastic. The office staff are extremely green as well by recycling paper, computer and copier cartridges, and any plastic containers. The Zoo's cartridges are purchased through an environmentally friendly partner that also believes in reusing and provides the Zoo with recycled toner cartridges.
