What steps should you take before recycling your electronic devices?

Recycling electronic devices is environmentally responsible but requires precaution to protect personal information. Before recycling, back up your data using cloud services or physical storage devices. Ensure you sign out of accounts and remove any SIM or SD cards to secure sensitive information. Performing a factory reset is crucial to delete personal data, and using data-wiping software provides additional security. Evaluate the condition of your device; if it's still functional, consider selling or donating it to extend its usefulness and reduce electronic waste. Local retailers and services offer recycling, but platforms like Man Made Cycle are good for selling or buying used gadgets. By taking these steps, you safeguard personal data and contribute positively to environmental efforts.
