Flower Mound Elementary Principal, Christy Van Scoyoc, and her faculty facilitated the event so their students could understand the importance of recycling electronic waste (e-waste) in a fun and tangible way. A Recycle Avengers e-waste collection bin will be set up at the school so students, teachers and community members can safely recycle their old phones, computers, tablets and other electronic devices.

"Change first begins with education and awareness," stated Tony Wang, CEO of Re-Teck. "The gaming app makes players aware of the potential inside old electronics in a fun, interactive game. The launch events educate the community that there is a better way to discard used electronics as Re-Teck partners with schools, businesses and government facilities to collect and properly recycle the devices."

Recycle Avengers, available for download in the Apple and Android stores, is an educational and interactive game that enables educators and parents to teach the importance of electronics recycling while simultaneously giving players the opportunity to win great prizes including gift cards, t-shirts, and posters. In 2023, a LEAF electric car will be given away to one lucky player.

Recycle Avengers made a stop at The Original Pancake House DFW, one of thousands of restaurants nationwide that will partner with Re-Teck, to place Recycle Avengers recycling bins in their locations to collect and recycle used electronics. Click for Photos
