Secure destruction of flight logs, camera data, and GPS records stored on drone memory modules.
A single drone contains a surprising array of valuable materials. Brushless motors yield copper windings and rare earth magnets (neodymium, dysprosium). Circuit boards contain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. Airframes contribute aluminum, carbon fiber, and engineering plastics. REFPV's material recovery process in Flagstaff achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
Before any drone is disassembled in our facility, all data storage is securely wiped. This includes internal memory, SD cards, and firmware-level data. Flagstaff enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in Arizona.
The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Flagstaff with specialized lithium battery recycling — including safe discharge, cell separation, and hydrometallurgical recovery of critical minerals. Our facilities recover lithium carbonate, cobalt sulfate, and nickel for reuse in new battery production.
