Lights for Lions

Do you have broken or non-working holiday lights and extension cords?  Donate them at the Zoo to help protect lions and cheetahs in Tanzania.  Bring your broken, non-working strings of lights and extension cords (please do not include any packaging) to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for recycling November 1, 2024 through February 8, 2025. Proceeds from recycling support the Zoo’s lion and cheetah conservation program partner Lion Landscapes.  

In partnership with Lion Landscapes, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is working to mitigate human-carnivore conflicts and develop effective, long-term conservation strategies for large carnivores in Tanzania.  This organization helps reduce the negative impacts of carnivore presence by providing important conservation-related benefits to local communities.

When: November 1, 2024 through February 8, 2025

Where: At the main entrance of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, 3900 Wildlife Way (you don't need a Zoo ticket to drop them off) or year-round at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District (opens in a new window), 4750 East 131 Street in Garfield Heights.
