Recyclable items dropped off at the Toledo Zoo's Party for the Planet! yesterday ranged from the most typical, such as aluminum cans, paper, and cell phones, to items that have far fewer local collections, such as athletic shoes, vacuum cleaners, and video tapes.

Working with cans are, from left, Atazhe Herron, Nakita Thompson, and Norla Long. Carrying a computer is Joe Neeb.
