Data security is a non-negotiable part of responsible drone recycling. REFPV destroys all flight logs, GPS history, camera data, and Wi-Fi credentials stored on drones from Fort Collins and throughout Colorado. We issue NIST-compliant Certificates of Data Destruction for every device — essential for businesses handling sensitive aerial data.
E-waste regulations in Colorado require proper handling of lithium batteries and electronic components found in drones. REFPV ensures full compliance with all applicable federal and Colorado regulations.

Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Fort Collins'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.
