Ball recycling bin location: Front Entrance

In celebration of the global excitement around soccer this summer, your Toronto Zoo is collecting used soccer balls for recycling through TerraCycle to help reduce waste and support a cleaner future for wildlife and our planet.

Together, we can:

  • Keep sports equipment out of landfill
  • Support waste reduction and recycling🌎
  • Recover materials through circular economy programs♻️
  • Help protect wildlife and natural habitats

No matter the condition - deflated, torn, or heavily used - every soccer ball can help make a difference.

Bring your old soccer balls to the Front Entrance recycling bin and help your Toronto Zoo score a goal for sustainability.

 

Your Toronto Zoo strives to provide experience and events that are accessible to all guests. Accommodation requests by guests for experiences and events are always welcome and every effort will be made to provide optimal support for the needs of guests with disabilities.
