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 Orem 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.
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 Orem and throughout Utah. We issue NIST-compliant Certificates of Data Destruction for every device — essential for businesses handling sensitive aerial data.
Drone recycling recovers critical minerals that would otherwise require destructive mining operations. From Orem'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 Orem and across Utah 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 Orem businesses with fleet assessments, coordinated pickups, and compliance reporting.
