Disposal of very old iPhones

How can I dispose of several old iPhones and make sure my identity is not compromised? I have iPhones 4, 5 and 7 to dispose of. Also an iPod nano.

iPhone 7, iOS 15

Apple will recycle them for free: Apple Trade In - Apple

If the devices still sorta-kinda work: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Take them to your closest Apple Store, who will recycle them responsibly.
