Drone batteries contain lithium-polymer cells that are hazardous when improperly disposed of. In Puerto Rico, e-waste regulations require responsible handling of these materials.
Every year, thousands of drones reach end-of-life in Carolina alone. Recycling recovers valuable metals like cobalt, copper, and aluminum that would otherwise be lost.
REFPV's certified recycling process ensures your drone components never end up in a Puerto Rico landfill, protecting local water sources and soil from contamination.

Ensure your drone disposal meets all federal and state e-waste regulations with our compliance advisory services.
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 Carolina 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.
The growing drone industry in Carolina and across Puerto Rico 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 Carolina businesses with fleet assessments, coordinated pickups, and compliance reporting.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Carolina'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.
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 Carolina and throughout Puerto Rico. We issue NIST-compliant Certificates of Data Destruction for every device — essential for businesses handling sensitive aerial data.
