(UK) Old phone disposal

[silverback]

I've found an old, 3G only, 'smartphone' in a drawer. What's the best way to dispose of this and what actions do I need to take before it's disposed of, please?
Thanks
Silverback

If it still works at all then I would do a factory reset to clear all my personal data, and then take it to the council recycling depot where they have a skip for e-Waste

Thanks, Stuart.
Had to Google for how to do a Moro G factory reset(!) but all done now and ready for the tip.
Many thanks

What Stuart suggested, but why take it to the tip?
A women's or man's shelter probably houses someone who could use a telephone, even an old one. no?

Moto G from end 2013?
I've only just replaced mine with a G32! (Only app on the new one is LibreView...)

Meanwhile, Up North, I've yet to part with my very unSmart Nokia brick phone from the year dot.

Well Done that man!
I guess that if it dates from before the year dot, then it must surely date before the years dot-com?

Can it run Stellerium?

Can it run Stellerium?

If I knew what a Stellerium was, I'd be able definitively to say: No.
With my present state of ignorance, the answer would be: Not in my lifetime...

It's a planetarium

But it's still a no!

Correct, it's a 'no'. I'm surprised you even asked the question.

Perhaps but would have worked had it been added to Graeme's question.
