Secure destruction of flight logs, camera data, and GPS records stored on drone memory modules.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, San Marcos's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides San Marcos with volume pricing, scheduled fleet pickups, and dedicated account management for seamless recycling transitions.
Before any drone is disassembled in our facility, all data storage is securely wiped. This includes internal memory, SD cards, and firmware-level data. San Marcos enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in Texas.
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 San Marcos achieves a 95%+ recovery rate.
