The growing drone industry in Indianapolis and across Indiana spans photography, mapping, delivery, agriculture, and security applications. Each retiring drone fleet represents both an environmental responsibility and a material recovery opportunity. REFPV's enterprise program serves Indianapolis businesses with fleet assessments, coordinated pickups, and compliance reporting.
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 Indianapolis and throughout Indiana.

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