Mobile Phone Recycling at the Buick Invitational
San Diego based LG Mobile Phones is proud to return for a second year as an official mobile phone partner for the 2008 Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines. PGA policy prohibits the use and possession of mobile phones on the course during play. As an alternate solution, LG has created multiple Mobile Links on the course, providing their phones for complimentary use. Please see spectator guide and area maps for specific LG Mobile Links locations.
In addition to Mobile Links, LG is excited to promote their mobile phone recycling effort. It is estimated that 130 million mobile phones will end up in US landfills this year alone. These devices contain toxic chemicals that when disposed of improperly, could contaminate the land and water supply. As a solution to this growing issue LG offers an effective program to help reduce the amount of mobile phone waste.
Receptacles will be set up at course entrances to collect your broken or old mobile phones, including accessories for complimentary recycling. An LG giveaway will be provided for each phone recycled, in addition to being included in a drawing for a special seating upgrade in the LG VIP section on the 15th green.
Please visit www.lgusa.com/recycle for more information on LG’s recycling program.
By offering a cost-free recycling solution for old mobile phones and accessories, together we can contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.
