Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Schaumburg'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.
Modern drones store extensive data: flight logs, GPS coordinates, photos, videos, and cached maps. For Schaumburg 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.
