If you are not going to use your old iPhone anymore and want to remove all information, then you need to disable Find My iPhone, sign out of your Apple ID and finally restore it to Factory Settings.
This procedure will erase EVERYTHING from your iPhone!
Start by signing out of Find My iPhone, go to:
Settings → Apple ID → Find. Disable Find My iPhone
Then, sign out of your Apple ID here:
Settings → Apple ID → Scroll to the bottom and select Sign Out.
Finally, restore your iPhone to Factory Settings. This will erase everything on your iPhone. Go to:
Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings
The phone will start doing a Factory Restore. When the phone starts up with the "Hello" screen, your iPhone is ready to either be passed on, sold or stored in the drawer.
