Drone batteries contain lithium-polymer cells that are hazardous when improperly disposed of. In California, e-waste regulations require responsible handling of these materials.
Every year, thousands of drones reach end-of-life in Ontario alone. Recycling recovers valuable metals like cobalt, copper, and aluminum that would otherwise be lost.
REFPV's certified recycling process ensures your drone components never end up in a California landfill, protecting local water sources and soil from contamination.
Bulk drone disposal for businesses — fleet pickups, chain-of-custody tracking, and compliance documentation included.
Specialized lithium-polymer battery recycling with certified safety protocols. We handle batteries from all drone types.
Free shipping labels for individual drone owners. Recycle your DJI, Parrot, Skydio, or any brand drone safely and responsibly.
Secure destruction of flight logs, camera data, and GPS records stored on drone memory modules.
Working motors, cameras, and electronics are refurbished and resold. Maximize the value recovered from your old drones.
Ensure your drone disposal meets all federal and state e-waste regulations with our compliance advisory services.
The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Ontario 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.
Before any drone is disassembled in our facility, all data storage is securely wiped. This includes internal memory, SD cards, and firmware-level data. Ontario enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in California.
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 Ontario achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, Ontario's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides Ontario with volume pricing, scheduled fleet pickups, and dedicated account management for seamless recycling transitions.
