We run all used disks through a shredder before surplusing any systems, and we are just a manufacturing company dealing with internal corporate IT stuff. the shredder is a truck from a 'data destruction' service that comes every so often and destroys the current inventory of surplus disks. A corporate eSecurity officer witnesses this to ensure drives aren't diverted into the grey market. each drive goes into the shredder and comes out as metal filings.
The alternative is to wait for my manager to return, and then have the drives deGaussed.
