The batteries inside drones are among the most hazardous components to dispose of. REFPV serves Chesapeake with specialized lithium battery recycling — including safe discharge, cell separation, and hydrometallurgical recovery of critical minerals. Our facilities recover lithium carbonate, cobalt sulfate, and nickel for reuse in new battery production.
From commercial real estate firms to agricultural operations, Chesapeake's businesses rely heavily on drone technology. When commercial fleets reach end-of-life — typically after 2-3 years of heavy use — REFPV provides Chesapeake 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. Chesapeake enterprise clients receive detailed data destruction reports meeting federal compliance standards. This is especially critical for government and defense drone operators in Virginia.
