Overview
Agricultural drones are transforming farming with precision spraying, crop mapping, and NDVI analysis. These larger drones use heavy-duty components — high-capacity batteries, industrial motors, and specialized payloads. When farm drones reach end-of-life, they contain significant quantities of lithium, copper, and electronic components that require proper recycling.
Common Equipment
- Agricultural spray drones (DJI Agras, XAG)
- Multispectral and thermal cameras
- High-capacity battery packs (10,000-30,000mAh)
- RTK GPS modules for precision positioning
- Large brushless motors (3508-5010)
- Spray tanks and nozzle systems
Recycling & Sustainability
Agricultural drones contain 3-10x more battery capacity than hobby FPV drones, making proper recycling critical. A single ag drone battery pack contains enough lithium to contaminate thousands of gallons of groundwater if landfilled. We handle the hazardous material chain-of-custody from pickup to certified processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept large agricultural drone batteries?
Yes. We accept all lithium batteries regardless of size, including high-capacity agricultural packs. Large batteries require special shipping procedures — we provide custom packing instructions and labels for oversized packs.
What's the recycling value of agricultural drones?
Agricultural drones have higher material recovery value due to their size. Large motors yield more copper and rare earths, and high-capacity batteries contain more recoverable lithium and cobalt. Contact us for a custom quote on ag drone recycling.
