I have several smartphones that no longer work. I was going to rid of them one way or another, but it concerns me a bit that someone could recover information from those devices (photos, accounts, etc). Is it safe to dispose them?

I can’t delete anything since the phones don’t work. I can’t just remove the “hard drive” can I?

    I’ll argue the way of the hammer, it’s the only way to be sure.

    Also, please rip out the storage chip to bust it and recycle the rest. Particularly old batteries.
