I give Meg a pass on not making sense because of all the drugs he has to take to keep his multiple personalities in check..

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money
For Android phones, you can do a factory reset, then immediately open an ADB shell and use dd to create a big file that overwrites all free space. That will stop wannabe hackers and some advanced users, but Flash memory is almost impossible to sanitize correctly (and certainly not through overwriting, which is almost never done in place), so if you need 100% assurance, physical destruction is the only way. A high-power blender or incineration should do the trick.
If you take this path and the phone's battery is replaceable (or can be forcibly removed), don't be a moron, take it off and dispose of it in a recycling plant or similar.

And please don't try to bury the remains in the woods
