REFPV's battery recycling program in Little Rock follows DOT hazmat protocols for safe transport and processing.

Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Little Rock's recycled drones, we extract copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements.
