Drone batteries contain lithium-polymer cells that are hazardous when improperly disposed of. In Florida, e-waste regulations require responsible handling of these materials.
Every year, thousands of drones reach end-of-life in Cape Coral 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 Florida landfill, protecting local water sources and soil from contamination.
Working motors, cameras, and electronics are refurbished and resold. Maximize the value recovered from your old drones.
Bulk drone disposal for businesses — fleet pickups, chain-of-custody tracking, and compliance documentation included.

Ensure your drone disposal meets all federal and state e-waste regulations with our compliance advisory services.
E-waste regulations in Florida require proper handling of lithium batteries and electronic components found in drones. REFPV ensures full compliance with all applicable federal and Florida regulations. For enterprise clients in Cape Coral, we provide complete compliance documentation including chain-of-custody records and recycling certificates.
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 Cape Coral 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.
Before any drone is disassembled in our facility, all data storage is securely wiped. This includes internal memory, SD cards, and firmware-level data. Cape Coral enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in Florida.
Every recycled drone from Cape Coral 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.
