PSA: check the batteries in your old electronics before they cause a fire. I discovered some puffy batteries in old feature phones stored in the back of the cupboard. I'm going to remove all the batteries from tech like this and bring them to the recycling - or get rid of the whole device if I don't need it anymore. Might be worthwhile for those of us packing for #EMFCamp to pair this errand with packing. That's why I was digging though the pile of old feature phones. Nice that it's usually easy to just remove batteries from the feature phones I was looking at - no tools required. Some smartphones/laptops have the batteries glued in, which means it's much better to just get rid of the whole device :(
