Teletouch Communications Inc. continues its drive to put e-waste in its place as the company has announced that they will be continuing its “Go Green with Hawk” cell phone recycling and disposal program at the upcoming Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial PGA TOUR Golf Tournament, being held Monday May 25 through Sunday May 31, 2009, at the Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

In conjunction with Colonial staff and PGA TOUR officials, spectators will be encouraged to bring their old, unused, and in many cases, no-longer-working cell phones to specially designed recycling bins at each of the major visitor entrances to the Colonial. Teletouch’s Hawk Electronics division staff members will empty them each day, and return collected items to the Company’s approximately 50,000sf warehouse and office facility in Fort Worth, Texas, for refurbishment for use by various Hawk-related charity groups, or proper disposal, as applicable.

Cell phones contain many toxic materials that pollute the environment and threaten human health. When recycled responsibly, many of the metals and other materials can be recycled, further helping to protect the planet.
