Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Omaha'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.
The growing drone industry in Omaha and across Nebraska 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 Omaha businesses with fleet assessments, coordinated pickups, and compliance reporting.
