    I hope you remove the batteries first before going at it with the hammer, or else you’re going to be breathing in some really nasty fumes.

    Plus damaging the battery could cause it to ignite anywhere between an hour to several days after it takes damage.

      And unless you actually destroy the storage, you are in the exact same situation. Also, I assume someone taking a hammer to a device is not recycling it properly.

      Phones have a factory reset for a reason

        So you bring it to a specialized recycler who will take it off your hands, and then they burn it in a controlled environment where the smoke can go up into the atmosphere and become stars.

      I rarely upgrade phones, and the last one I smashed had removable batteries. Yeah, I’d figure next upgrade. I’d have to figure something out for my Note 8.
