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!
Yea I’m sure that 9 year old and his brother who likes to ‘smash old stuff for fun then put it in a bag’ goes around taking things to places like an electronics disposal service all the time!
Personally, as a middle aged man, I have never taken anything to a electronics recycler, I once had a collection of old phones but they were stolen out of storage. I’m curious to hear about others experiences disposing of old electronics…
