A single drone contains a surprising array of valuable materials. Brushless motors yield copper windings and rare earth magnets (neodymium, dysprosium). Circuit boards contain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum. Airframes contribute aluminum, carbon fiber, and engineering plastics. REFPV's material recovery process in Livonia achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
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 Livonia and throughout Michigan. We issue NIST-compliant Certificates of Data Destruction for every device — essential for businesses handling sensitive aerial data.
Lithium-polymer batteries in drones contain hazardous materials including cobalt, nickel, and manganese. In Livonia, Michigan, REFPV provides DOT-compliant battery collection and certified disposal.
