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 Ventura 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.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Ventura's recycled drones, we extract copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements. According to USGS data, a kilogram of drone circuit boards can contain more gold than a metric ton of gold ore — making recovery economically and environmentally essential.
Drone technology in Ventura serves diverse industries including real estate photography, construction surveying, agricultural monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and public safety operations. As these sectors grow, so does the volume of retired drones requiring professional recycling. REFPV serves all commercial drone operators in Ventura with flexible fleet disposal programs.
The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Ventura 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.
Modern drones store extensive data: flight logs, GPS coordinates, photos, videos, and cached maps. For Ventura businesses, this may include proprietary survey data or infrastructure inspection records. REFPV provides NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction with a Certificate of Data Destruction for every unit processed.
