Our facilities recover lithium carbonate, cobalt sulfate, and nickel for reuse in new battery production.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, Syracuse's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides Syracuse with volume pricing, scheduled fleet pickups, and dedicated account management for seamless recycling transitions.
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 Syracuse achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
Before any drone is disassembled in our facility, all data storage is securely wiped. This includes internal memory, SD cards, and firmware-level data. Syracuse enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in New York.
