They deorbit the satellites that stop working and their reliability thus far has been high other than the first two or three launches which had a higher failure rate. Even if they do fail completely and become uncontrollable, they're designed to deorbit within 5 years from operational altitude. They're relatively low mass and have very large solar panels for their size.
