Discharging my old IPAD A1395

1-I already factory reset my old IPAD model A1395, and I want to know if I must do something else to protect all my personal information. Is there a removable syn card from the device that must be taken out as the cell phone?

2- Where can I throw away this IPAD?

2- Where can I throw away all cell phones in disuse, distinct brands, please?

If the iPad was an older Cellular + wi-fi model, it may have a physical SIM card in a SIM card tray. See information in Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPad - Apple Support

Newer iPads use eSIMs.


Also note that neither iPad nor iPhone SIM cards store any user data.

Depending on your location, you can recycle it at an Apple Store. Best Buy stores in the U.S. also recycle electronics. Another option is to do an internet search for electronic recycling in your area.
