There are also a few safety concerns with older devices, particularly the battery.
But that tends to be handled by the recycler.
This takes a few minutes, but it’s fairly reliable and very easy.
You’ll want to confirm photos, videos, music, and text messages are saved.
For phones, this means SIM cards and MicroSD cards (if your phone supports them).
On game consoles, check for game discs, game cartridges, and storage cards.
Computers have an even more secure option: you’re free to remove the storage drive.
Do some Google searching in either case to see if you could handle it.
You’ve done that in terms of software, now it’s time to look after the hardware.
