Drone batteries — primarily lithium-polymer (LiPo) and lithium-ion — require specialized handling due to fire and chemical exposure risks. REFPV's battery recycling program in Longmont follows DOT hazmat protocols for safe transport and processing. According to the EPA, improper lithium battery disposal causes an estimated 65% of waste facility fires nationwide.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, Longmont's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides Longmont with volume pricing, scheduled fleet pickups, and dedicated account management for seamless recycling transitions.
Every recycled drone from Longmont enters our material-specific processing streams: precious metals recovery from circuit boards, base metals from motors and frames, rare earth extraction from magnets, and plastic pelletization for reuse. This circular economy approach reduces the environmental impact of drone manufacturing significantly.
