So, a few months ago I decided to go outside and smash all my old phones into a million pieces just for fun and since they didn’t work. I put them in a bag in my closet because I don’t have an easy way to dispose them correctly. Well, my 9 year old brother tells me that he thinks it’s killing me because of “liquid mercury” and stuff in the screens. Just asking here if that’s actually the case.
The devices are a Samsung Galaxy J3, a Samsung Galaxy A5, a Samsung Galaxy S6, and an iPod Classic.
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn’t believe a 9 year old when talking about biocumulative heavy metals. Just sayin.
No, its not dangerous or hazardous for you indirectly that way. The worst could happen is the battery going bad and becoming one of them r/spicypillows but not much else. You probably removed it before smashing them.
Just give 'em to your nearest recycling facility. At worst it will occupy space on your closet and start rusting
