Old tablet disposal

Comyface

Hi all

I have recently had a clear out and found my old Tesco Hudl which I want to take to the tip. 

It stopped working a few years ago (can’t quite remember but at least four, maybe more) and I was worried about someone managing to get my bank details etc off it somehow if I took it to the tip so I just put it in a cupboard. 

Was I right to worry? Or am I ok to take it to the tip?

Cheers 😊

I also have an old dead one, and it's no longer possible to factory reset them even if they run. What passwords mine has in it will almost certainly have been changed now, so mine could probably go to the tip. I might just smash it thoroughly with a hammer first though.
