Zoo poo raises funds for Colchester Zoo

Howard Lake | 9 July 2006 | News

 

Demonstrating that where there’s muck there’s brass, a special blend of rhino dung is being sold by Colchester Zoo to raise funds for its ‘Save the Rhinos’ campaign.

Colchester Zoo has been selling Zoo Poo for a while but is now, appropriately, generating funds for the duration of the zoo’s Rhinos campaign. For every £8.99 (including delivery) pot sold £1 is donated to the campaign.

The dung is described as “perfect for flower beds, vegetable plots and soft fruit cages”, although gardeners are encouraged to use gloves when handling it.

 

 

So, does your charity produce any waste products that can be recycled and sold?
