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 Troy 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.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Troy's recycled drones, we extract copper, cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements.
