drives??

Hi Folks....

We're looking for efficiencies (who isn't?) - What process do you follow
to securely dispose of old hard drives?  Do you sanitize them?...what
process/software do you use?  Do you allow them to be sold/donated?  Do
you grind/shred them?  Do you degauss them?

We are sanitizing them, but we're wondering if it would just be cheaper
to use a secure recycling service?  (I know DOE/DOD does some of
that....depending on the "level"....)  

Looking forward to hearing what everyone is doing....

Thanks,

Michael
