Recycling Initiatives

At the Little Rock Zoo, we are committed to protecting wildlife and the environment through innovative recycling initiatives. Every item recycled is a step toward conserving natural habitats, reducing waste, and safeguarding endangered species. Join us in our efforts to make a lasting impact for animals and our planet!

The Green Station

Not sure what to do with old hard to recycle items like, broken electronics, or dead batteries? The Green Station is your go-to spot for recycling items that don’t belong in your curbside bin—and it’s conveniently located just seven minutes from the Zoo!

This dedicated facility accepts a wide range of harder-to-recycle household items, including:
• Household hazardous waste (like cleaning chemicals, and pesticides)
• E-waste (computers, TVs, cords, and more)
• Plastic grocery bags
• Light bulbs and household batteries

Location: 2000 S Thayer Street
Hours: Monday–Thursday, 7 a.m.–5 p.m.
Last Saturday of each month, 7 a.m.–1 p.m.

Please Note: The Green Station is not for everyday recyclables like cardboard, plastic bottles, or metal cans. For those, visit a local Recycling Center.
