Secure destruction of flight logs, camera data, and GPS records stored on drone memory modules.
Modern drones store extensive data: flight logs, GPS coordinates, photos, videos, and cached maps. For Cranston businesses, this may include proprietary survey data or infrastructure inspection records. REFPV provides NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction with a Certificate of Data Destruction for every unit processed.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Cranston'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.
Drone technology in Cranston serves diverse industries including real estate photography, construction surveying, agricultural monitoring, infrastructure inspection, and public safety operations.
