Lithium-polymer batteries in drones contain hazardous materials including cobalt, nickel, and manganese. In Orange, California, REFPV provides DOT-compliant battery collection and certified disposal. Each battery is voltage-tested, sorted by chemistry, and stored in fire-rated containers before processing at licensed recycling facilities.
California follows federal EPA guidelines for e-waste disposal, with additional state-specific requirements for lithium battery handling. REFPV helps Orange drone operators navigate these regulations with certified recycling that meets or exceeds all compliance standards. Our R2-certified facilities guarantee proper handling at every stage of the recycling process.
