Any suggestions on how to remove or retrieve information from a phone before recycling?

Great suggestions, got several old devices including the first windows phone. What about old laptops?

I have an old Samsung Galaxy 4 with no Sim which I still use for its great camera, an infra red add on camera and a WiFi app that shows channels in range and their channel numbers, sensitivity etc. plus which channels are the lowest being used so best to choose.

library recycled old battery i just took some of my to the library for recycled

I know this is an older video but research Ryan Montgomery he shows how ordinary cable chargers or hdmi could have a hidden chip that stores your information and can easily be accessed by hackers. If they can do this with chargers what do you think they can do with your old phones? I would think twice before offloading these at any recycling center or resale website.

You don't have trash bins for batteries in every grocery store in the US? ... You even have to search for special places and there are not even showing up a lot? xD ... You can only bring any electric devices to Best Buy? .... Does not every shop and store which also sells electric devices have to take back such things (e.g. headphones, laptops, fridges, ...anything electric)? ... oh my!
The US is so ...undeveloped.

Blows my mind you guys have drawers full of phones with working screens. I thought the idea was you buy the phone and use it until snap and smash the screen into a million pieces...??? No? Is that not the way? Please advise.

Really you got in an advert whilst showing how well off you are! If you can’t give a really solis way of repurposing, don’t do YouTube, bag up you leads or look at telling electronics enthusiast that they can use the wires the waste is 🤯

[SardineBreath]

Terrible guide guys. Glad I know what to do with my smartphones, the most easily reusable object on Earth. Next time lets focus on reusing speakers, fixing broken wires and cameras.
