The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Boston with specialized lithium battery recycling — including safe discharge, cell separation, and hydrometallurgical recovery of critical minerals. Our facilities recover lithium carbonate, cobalt sulfate, and nickel for reuse in new battery production.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Boston'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 Boston 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.
Drone technology in Boston serves diverse industries including real estate photography, construction surveying, agricultural monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and public safety operations.
