This is what work's for us.

Check out the links below, they should be good enough for what you are looking for.

Darik's Boot and Nuke ("DBAN") is a self-contained utility that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers. DBAN 
will automatically and completely delete the contents of any hard disk that it can detect, which makes it an 
appropriate utility for bulk or emergency data destruction. Use EXTREME CAUTION! Data destroyed with DBAN CANNOT be 
recovered.

If the above is still not enough, you can also follow this up with a on-site shredding company.

Once your confidential equipment have been destroyed, they will issue you with a Certificate of Destruction, providing 
you with a complete audit trail.
